Prideful Kitty

Softly padding down the hall,

Tail flicking through the air,

Head held high and proud and tall,

As triumphant as I dare.

~

Scratching posts and chairs,

My domain is here,

Sitting while I preen my hair,

Watching as in mice, I strike fear.

~

Stretching white paws I do see,

As I waken from my nap,

I start, for a mouse I do see,

I pounce and miss with a snap.

~

When the voice begins to call,

"Here kitty kitty!"

I jump, and almost fall,

She thinks she is so witty...

~

Time for the meal.

My feast yet awaits!

Through the kitchen to seal the deal,

Oh, her and her fancy dates!

~

Running through his legs,

As I twist and turn,

Looking at me she begs,

Asking me to learn!
