Cats Are Funny
Although you don't mean to be,
you're funny to behold
and when you pull those faux-pas,
my laughter can't be controlled.
First you tie yourself in knots
and then climb up the wall.
I find you in the laundry
or in the shower stall.
Once you rolled across the bed
and then fell on your head.
Looked at me as if to say
"If you laugh at me, you're dead."
Tried to jump to sit by me
and you missed the chair.
You just turned and stared at me
like you didn't have a care.
You perched on the curtain rod,
the queen of all you see.
but when you lost your footing
you got up and glared at me.
When you tried to get a drink
and in the toilet fell,
almost choked, so not to laugh,
but I knew that you could tell.
When you find a paper bag,
you think that it's your house;
crawl inside and try to hide,
like you were a tiny mouse.
When it's time to have a bath,
you howl and scratch and scream.
When you're soaped and soaking wet,
your eye takes on dang'rous gleam
You play with bathroom tissue
and really make a mess,
but I just put up with you,
'cause I couldn't love you less.
When you make funny faces,
I really want to laugh,
but I do restrain myself,
because you don't get the gaffe.
All in all, I have to say
that cats are comical,
but all their crazy antics
make life so wonderful.
