Just hold your cat horses

My cat's jumping at the bit.
She's wired at the gate..
She's throwing a whiney fit,
because her out doors time is late..
Punctual to the minute she won't
tolerate a hitch.
She lacks patience for my personal needs,
if they impose a scheduling glitch..
"Let me eat this banana. It's in need of
edible reckoning, so bruised, so brown,
it's no longer beckoning."
If nature calls abruptly I say, "I have to go".
The whines grow more persistent.
It irritates me so..
Cats have a variety of expressive vocal choices.
Some times I just raise my voice and shout,
"just hold your cat horses"!
