Smithers Cat
I mean, who really needs a morning alarm clock
When there's a glass of water on an ill placed shelf
You inched it closer to the edge with little knocks
Should have moved it. Soaking wet, I can only blame myself
A cold nose followed by a MEOOOW, right inside my ear
Who could ask for a more effective wake up call
If all else fails there's a back up plan so not to fear
Incessant paw bats to the face should do it, but that's not all
A unique trick you had for earlier morning wake ups
Biting hair at the roots, then pulling up really fast
Not as clever, still better than the water cups
I sadly sleep in more these days, now that he has passed
And I miss our early mornings, laying in the sun
The loudest I've ever heard, my little motor purring
Chasing toy mice and string and all that fun
Then you'd sleep on my head, I guess you were up very early...
Smithers. So many things to say
The biggest personality you had
And I miss you so much everyday
The house without you, is just very sad.
