Cat Pharaoh Poser
She knew if she could pull this off, she would be the best
Pharaoh Ancient Egypt had ever seen, it was her utmost quest.
You need to hide the fact that you are female her daddy said.
If a servant finds out, it must be off with his all-knowing head!
You must look regal at all times, and use your deepest meow.
Be haughty and healthy, and grimace when one makes a bad bow.
Phillistine the Poser Pharaoh wanted to make them both proud.
She gave them a lion’s roar, only a big bit more loud.
Not that her dad cautioned. They’ll know you are overcompensating.
You will constantly be under their eyes; they will always be rating.
Just be yourself, her mother assured the oldest of her latest litter.
She was surely that, being a self-confident aware-of-herself critter.
She walked into great hall, dressed in her daddy’s ropes with scepter.
Gasps surrounded her as she walked past her best friend Hector.
He was transfixed by transformation of her, this their newest king.
He did not reveal her secret. She felt a joy that made her want to sing.
