If I Could Choose
If I were to be an animal,
I would want to be my kitty.
He is so spoiled and pampered
That it is a downright pity.
He does not do a single thing
That he doesn’t desire to do.
He answers to no one’s commands.
His high-flown tastes are catered to.
His dinner is served at his demand.
He naps whenever he pleases,
And he has his very own kitty vet
To keep him free of diseases.
He never worries about the bill
But takes every thing for granted.
He knows I will come to find him
Wherever he has gallivanted.
If I were to be an animal,
I would like to have the easy life,
That my beloved kitty has,
With no worry, no work, no strife.
