Speak Up My Fellow Felines



The time has come that I must say
Speak up my fellow felines!
Catnip? No, that's foolish play
from Nine Lives I resign

From this point on we shall not dally
With lizards, birds and mice
And no more shall we roam the alley
With fish bones to suffice

In Kayro, Egypt Cleo said
the Cat is holy grail
But in Japan we'd lose our head
And for dinner we'd prevail

Out in the snow and sleet I sleep
With longing in my heart
Upon a mouse I quickly leap
So dinner I may start

Unite I say, around the moore
And we'll show humans why
We fellow felines feel so sore
About living just to die
