Sassy Cat.

I didn't want to scare you
didn't want to cause a fright
but if you creep around the house
please put on the light.

You know it's hard to see me
in the darkness of night.
It's my pure black tail you stand on
giving me such a fright.

You know my place for sleeping
is on your fireside mat.
Do you forget I'm sleeping here
from Sassy your black cat.

You scream and wake up all the house
giving everyone a scare.
Then you shout, "Sassy where are you,
Sassy are you there?" 

Yes "MEOW" comes my reply
still in a state of fright.
It doesn't happen now and then.
No! Meow, it happens every night.
