A Little Animals View


I was dreaming of a hunting quest,
   feral, wild and untamed in a land strange;
    then, outside my fluffy fur there was a change,
the bright sun was shining into our nest.
Yawning wide and on the bed my claws-  pressed,
   I am soft dark grey and a pet of one;
   I like to prowl mice that in the house run.
Oh, on my mother's lips a kiss I pressed!

Well, I think this is my mother, anyway,
   I see her eyes flutter and she does stir;
MEOW!  Is she going to sleep all day?
   So into her right ear I loudly purr,
   I am forced to stand on her chest and plea;
   Oh! Do get up and make our tea!
Then, she hugs me close to her heart with love,
and she calls me her little turtle dove!

Mother is walking towards the kitchen,
   I zoom past her sliding on the wood floor;
   yes, ready to do my part-  to pitch in,
I know mother what dwells behind that door.
That's right, make the tea and in my bowl pour,
   yes, in my plate my yummy food place;
   and when I am all full we can play chase . . . 
So sorry, didn't mean to break your vase!
