My Cat Life

I’d really like to be a cat,

and sleep throughout the day,

or maybe I would just decide

to spend my time in play.

No one would ask if homework’s done.

My job would be to purr,

and if I got ambitious, well,

I guess I’d clean my fur.

The only problem, I suspect,

my cat life would include,

is that I’d have to somehow eat

that horrible, smelly food!
