My Favorite Toy

If you ever asked,

I would never really tell,

but I have this favorite toy

that I love so well.

It’s not a mouse or bird,

nor does it crunch or ring,

it holds no catnip at all

but I sure can make it sting.

It’s not a red dot that you

expect me to chase up a wall

but sometimes the color red is present

if I can make my big toy fall.

Have you figured it out yet

about what I like to do

since after all my favorite toy

looks an awful lot like you.
