(for our sweet Kit Kat)
Remember when I would sneak below
the window sill then I’d pounce into the light
and scare the moth that was floating there
part-way through its flight.
It didn’t matter that I was on a hunt
or if the prize might get away
because even when I’d hold really still
my tail would always sway.
I would prance across your dinner dish
and you would make a little fuss
then I’d slip beneath the couches skirt
and hunt bunnies in the dust.
At times I would weave my way through
those little knick-knacks strewn everywhere
but to be completely honest with you
I just did it cuz it gave you a scare.
I remember there was this little red spot
that often appeared from anywhere
when I saw it I’d streak across the floor
and go flying through the air.
There’s something about that little red dot
that always seemed just a little queer
because every time I had it my paws
that damn dot would disappear.
I loved when you played with my puffy paws
well that’s not completely true
cause I would only put up with it when
you made me play patty cake with you.
I remember when it would rain out
and we’d seek cover from the storm
I would lay across your lovely lap
just to keep my tummy warm.
I loved when you tickled my tummy
and cuddled me next to your heart
because I knew when I first met you
it was love from the very start.
