Manipulators
MANIPULATORS
Cats are manipulators
Putting paws around your neck
But suddenly they are traitors
Though you are at their call and beck
He’s purring in your ear - right inside
When wanting food or a stroke
But turning his “one-eyed side”
To you when grocery store seems broke
Sitting on knee, kneading
Or maybe dozing with paws tucked in
Until someone else offers feeding
Then he’s gone, to your chagrin
He’ll chase a paper if it might suit
But then ignore your dangling string
Oh, his behavior can be cute
But of manipulators he is king.
