Read these lines from the poem.

The pillow quakes and quivers

Like pudding on a plate.

How does the simile affect the tone of this poem?

It has a listless tone because the speaker is sleepy.

It has an irritated tone because the cat is disruptive.

The tone is anxious because of the quaking and quivering.

The tone is humorous because the simile is funny.

My Cat

A bump of black and white

Is purring in my bed.

And later on at night

I find him near my head.

The pillow quakes and quivers

Like pudding on a plate.

He wakes me up at midnight.

I sure hope he sleeps late!
