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

Fat Cat thinks too much...at least he has food and shelter...I like the concept here...

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