When I was just a
kitten,
My mother said to
me.
"Someday, you'll have a human pet,
They're cuddly and
they're free".
She said "They're awful clumsy,
They stumble, trip, and
fall.
They cannot even see a Cat,
Sleeping in a hall".
"They act as if
they own the place,
They're bossy every day".
"You'll learn you must
ignore them
It's just the
human way".
So, I took my Mom's advice,
I got a human
pet.
I have
named her Anne,
And she's cuddly as they get.
Owning Anne's been some fun,
And usually we are
friends.
But she can be a handful,
I'm glad she wasn't
twins.
Humans really aren't too bright,
Their brains are small, I
guess.
While trying hard to train her,
I've not had much success.
She doesn't seem to understand,
How things are
'posed to be.
She insists on being headstrong,
Not mellowed out, like
me.
She hasn't learned to lick herself,
To keep her body clean.
And when it comes to
purring,
She isn't very keen.
She plays on her computer,
Just
wasting time away.
When playing with a ball of string,
Could really make her
day.
She's seems content to sit there,
Banging on those
keys.
While I inspect her
ankles,
Checking them for fleas.
When my neighbors visit me,
We
sneak out to the bushes.
We laugh about our human pets,
While sitting on our tushes.
Anne's getting up in years,
And becoming rather
slow.
There are a lot of cats out there,
Who'd say she has to go.
But I'm
inclined to keep her,
I've considered this a lot.
Why train another
human pet,
When I love the one I've GOT.
