A Tree For Ziggy

I know my cat, Ziggy, and my cat Ziggy, knows me See, I can’t keep him away from my Christmas tree So, this year, just wait for it, what I brought home A Christmas tree, for Ziggy, one of his very own I decked it out, while Ziggy watched from outside Ziggy got in, slid across the wooden floor, to hide I made sure it is a miniature tree, that looks like mine It has everything on it, I’m pretty good with design I caught Ziggy peeking at me, while licking his paws, He turned around back to his post, to sharpen his claws All except for lights, Ziggy’s mini tree looked great Just like the tree my niece and I shall decorate There are tassels, elves, and plenty of bulbs that glisten Melodic bells will be chiming, Christmas tunes if you listen Presents tied up in bows, and the stockings are hanging Cranberries and popcorn strung around are dangling Like a lovely Christmas card, our place looks swell When you just get to thinking that all is going well That’s when you begin to notice that it isn’t so, Toys are missing and the glow bulbs don’t glow My kitty, the destroyer, is impossible, he is the worst I’ve dealt with him before, this disaster, it’s not the first What I thought was Ziggy massaging his sequin pillow, Was a designer Kate Spade, handbag, a gift, I still owe He was chewing the purse, I laughed, then I cried Oh, Ziggy silly kitty, I waited, until my tears dried He’s my pet, doing what cats do, and so I'll let him be What’s a cat supposed to do, a Christmas tree's just a tree!
