Ode to My Kitty
Oh, Kitty cat, you are at once docile and daring
You prowl the night in search of some prey
With soft steps, as you stealthily cross the doorway
You never meow and into the dark you boldly stray
Our home with its premises is your domain
With glowing eyes that are cold as ice,
I often see you padding up and down the corridor
Looking for some unsuspecting mice
At the end, you come up with some tiny thing
And enjoy tossing it between your paws
Flicking your tail and darting up and down,
You toy with it lifting and dropping it from your jaws
Seeing what you have brought home today
I stay so shocked, petrified and breathless
Instead of a mouse, you have carried a snake inside
Proudly placing it before me like a victor fearless.
My Kitty cat, you are both sweet and fierce
How fast, from a dove, you turn into a whiskered brat
Though I enjoy all your daring deeds and feats
I don’t want to see you growing over smart.
