My Cat Named Mischievous

My cat is aptly named Mischievous 
A little ball of fur 
She doesn't weigh much 
But how dearly I love her 

She always spills her milk 
Then licks her whiskers clean 
She doesn't do it on purpose 
She doesn't seem to be mean 

She lays on the carpet 
Rolled up into a ball 
In her mind she is thinking 
I might trip and fall 

She's always hiding somewhere 
Especially underneath my chair 
Suddenly she jumps out 
Trying to give me a scare 

I wouldn't trade her for anything 
She is so precious to me 
Even though she is Mischievous 
It's very plain to see 

She's always under foot 
Especially when I am trying to work 
In her mind 
I'm the one who is the jerk 

In spite of all this 
We will have a little chat 
I'll try to make her understand 
But darn it I don't speak cat

Butterflies

Spring time finds butterflies 
Dancing in a garden of flowers 
The gentle breeze is the music 
They flutter on for hours 
They are all costumed 
In their finest dresses 
Softly colored by petals 
Each tiny wing caresses 
Their movements are graceful 
As they glide through the air 
Everyone of their steps 
Choreographed with great care 
But spring time is fleeting 
And summer is too 
They dance their finale 
When the seasons are through 
Now the dancers are gone 
Their costumes grew jaded 
No more music in gentle breezes 
Spring and summer have both faded
