My Black Cat's Cries
My black cat’s cries are cries for sympathy:
Please notice me, this is my only wish
My bowl is empty, please fill it for me!
And please be sure to use the freshest fish.
Of all the fishies tuna is my fave
So fresh, so nice inside my hungry tum
Oh please do give me that which I do crave
Big fish, fresh fish, and not some stinky chum.
You have no tuna? Oh, what shall I do?
My teeth, my claws, I must now bring them out
And through thy hand they will now pierce straight through
Until my human does now make a shout.
Alas, poor human, will you not bow down?
We cats are worthy of the finest crown.
