And make the duvet stand up like a throne

If I were a cat I’d  be quite sure
That every living creature walks on feet
The  goldfish I that I capture when allured
Are not alive although their eyes look sweet

If I were   a cat I’d  sleep all day
Not waste my time with humans  and their talk
I cannot see a god so I won’t pray
But every night I’ll go out on a stalk

If I were a cat I’d  sniff their beds
When my owners left me all alone
I’d bite and scratch if there were a loose thread
And make the duvet stand up like a throne

I would not ever ask for what I want
Nor give a hint of pleasure nor of joy
If they cannot guess,I shall them taunt
I’ll sulk until  they  get me a new toy

I do not care to  sit on  human laps
Nor  for  them call me sweetie pie
Sometimes I have let my  temper rip
Sometimes I mioaw, I tell a lie

I’m beautiful ,I’m handsome,I’m divine
And as I look I see the whole world’s  mine
