METAMORPHOSIS

If I could metamorphosise
Into something cute and furry,
I would change into a kitten,
Affectionate and purry.
 
I would move into the residence
Of the lady I adore,
Who I believe quite likes me,
But likes pussy cats much more.

She’d let me curl up on her lap
And stroke behind my ears.
I’ve been trying to persuade her
To cuddle me for years.

I would have my meals prepared for me;
Not my favourite chore.
I’m sure I’d soon get used to
Eating on the floor.

But there’s a potential hazard,
I’d not considered yet.
It might be counter-productive
If she took me to the vet!

Hello Bryn. Thank you for your entry. Love the funny twist at the end of your poem after the expressions of efforts to get close to the person.
