I become a cat,
and imagine that!
Everyone reaches to
pet me!
But, I creep away fast,
and look at that!
everyone reaches to
fetch me!
I spring out
my claws,
which are as good
as my jaws,
and I scramble to
to give those
that have me,
a sideways claw
with the ends of
my paw, so that
no one endeavors
to grab me!
I slink away now,
with a sour
meow, and a
wave of my furry
striped tail,
hoping that these
humans will learn to
stop, and to
let things just
prevail.
For when and if
I want a pet,
they will know, and
they won't forget...
but, in the meantime,
as I walk,
I just smile, and
think my
thoughts!
