I Shall a Mighty Hunter Be

"I Shall A Mighty Hunter Be!"

“I shall a mighty hunter be,
The King of Kills, by God’s decree!
Savannahs always guarantee
a vantage camouflaging me.
  
I’ll lie in wait with sharpened claws
… until her keys unlock our doors!
My human’s finished many chores,
including patronizing stores

for meals to place inside my bowl.
Meow!  Dispense the chicken whole!
Provide the victuals!  That’s your goal!
Prepare some veal, pâte´, and sole …

Since after feasts I sleep a lot,
I found myself the perfect spot
to dream of feather wands and plot
to catch that fast, red laser dot!”
