THE CAT'S PRAYER

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To NEVER tell a human that
The world is really ruled by CATS
Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-sized bed is soft and deep…
I sleep right in the centre groove
My warm human can hardly move!
I've trapped her legs; she's tucked in tight
And here is where I pass the night
No one disturbs me or dares intrude
Till morning comes and "I want Food!"
I sneak up slowly to begin
By nibbles on my human's chin.
She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth -
And my claws I will unsheathe
For the morning's here and it's time to play
I always seem to get my way.
So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs and holds me tight
And sacrifices her bed at night.
