The Pleasures of life
I woke up one Sunday morning
The clock struck half past one
I had this strange, strange feeling
That something was terribly wrong
I laid there in the darkness
Thinking the feeling through
Then it suddenly struck me
I couldn’t feel you
I wiggled with my right toe
I wiggled with my left toe
I patted round and round
But still there was no feeling
No noise…..No sound
My heart just stopped a moment
I sat up straight in bed
Just to find you in the corner
Lying on the floor instead
My throat let out laughter
My lips curled to smile
I called you back into bed again
Come play with me a while
I wiggled with my right toe
I wiggled with my left toe
I patted round and round
But still there was no feeling
No noise…..No sound
He rubbed his head against my cheek
Sniffling all the time
Feeling rather restless
I guess its breakfast time
Time for milk and time for meat
Time for his daily grooming
To have a cat is such a treat
I could never live without him
