Black Cat

I should never have given me the doubt or you the benefit, I should never have given you that, Black cat Who stalk’s about my path, Should never have trusted Taken in by that deceptive purr But I knew what you were, That frenzy of black fur Standing upright like a bed of nails So you could leave your mark, Oh cruel predator how misleading, Every one about you lays dying Bleeding, And you lap it up with your barbed tongue If there were room you would be swung, Your saucer of cream A scream Left over night gone sour How you devour All that curdles All that rots you make a meal of, You are everybody’s Lap cat Till the claws attack And nestle snugly in the skin Stray I wish id never let you in Prowling for some place to lay I have exchanged my roof for tin. Why such a beast Has nine times to die? Outside my window You shriek like the ghost of a baby’s cry how long do you play with your pray before admitting defeat? mouse catcher I am an angry rat When will you come to terms with that?
