Fishy Morsels ~ Derry's Heart Poems ~ Living Each Day

Purrin', here I am, digestin'
That one sardine too much,
Or was it all the pizza capers,
I gobbled down for lunch.

I'm tryin' to remember
The treats from yesterday,
Those very fishy morsels
That leapt up from the tray.

Or was it steak 'n onions
The fries with bacon, eggs,
I discovered on the benchtop
(I didn't have to beg)

Oh, chocolate drops, fritatta,
And whipped up dairy cream,
Fiddle sticks n' leapin' lizards
Is that why I'm so trim?

'Cause sittin' here deciph'rin'
That needle's stuck I pray,
If...barely past the zero
What shall I stalk today?

Oh, now I lay me down to doze
I like this cushy life I knows
I play with toys that flip like mice
And stretch on cushions, soft and nice
I crave for gourmet kitty snacks
And someone sweet to scritch my back
I've windowsills, all warm and bright
And fishy dreams all through the night
Now...somehow here, I needs to be cool
To keep this li'l needle fooled
To always tell the humans that
A Cat is never ever FAT
