Fat Cat Fat Cat

Fat cat fat cat
Living a life of ease
The high rise apartment
Luxurious indeed

Fat cat fat cat
Always dreamed of a better way
Where he could be pampered
Baths, endless food, a comfortable bed to stretch and lay 

Fat cat fat cat
Living out his dreams
But in those quite moments
The meaning of life brings unease

Fat cat fat cat
Through the window birds flying stir an urge
An uncomfortable awareness
Instinctual drives re-emerge

Fat cat fat cat
A flawed misguided destiny
It’s hard to see life’s value 
When all you’re seeking is the cheese

Fat cat fat cat
Troubled by the fact
The life that he desired
Is now time he can never get back

Fat cat fact cat
The life of ease perhaps a disease
The purpose in life
The struggle – brings growth to all living things 

Fat cat fat cat
Surrenders - sleeps and eats all day and night
Miserable in his comfort
Watching others live out their life

The irony of blessed. When the pantry is full and a new Netflix series begins, its hard to participate in life.
