**Sammy the Sniffer**  

Oh Sammy, my cat, with your nose in the air,  

You sniff out the mice, you know they are there.  

Your whiskers twitch, your tail gives a sway,  

But the mice always seem to scurry away.  

You prowl through the house, so silent, so sly,  

With a glint of ambition in your golden eye.  

The scent of the hunt, it fills you with glee,  

Yet the mice outsmart you, as quick as can be.  

You crouch in the shadows, your patience profound,  

But the mice, oh Sammy, they’re nowhere to be found.  

They dart through the cracks, they vanish from sight,  

Leaving you puzzled in the pale moonlight.  

Still, you persist, my determined little friend,  

Your quest for the mice will never quite end.  

For though you may fail, you’re noble and true,  

And I love every whisker and pawprint of you.  

So sniff on, dear Sammy, with your feline grace,  

Even if the mice always win the race.  

For it’s not just the catch that makes you so grand,  

It’s the heart of a hunter, and the love of my hand.

Hope Sammy enjoys his poetic tribute!
