Coat

The seasons change

and so does my coat,

leaving you to drown

in this hair filled moat.

Just try to kiss me

and you will find

a beard of fur

is quite divine.

Lost is one thing

that I will never be

since I leave in my wake

little pieces of me.

Fur-Dried

I know something is wrong,

I can tell from the tears

that seep into my fur,

that much is clear.

I know someone is missing,

though not where he’s gone

and I know that I miss him

but tomorrow’s a new dawn.

I know why the tears are shed

and I’ll allow them for now.

My fur can dry your tears

while I cry out, meow.

The Long Lost Lyrics of Meow That’s What I Call Music Volume 2

So I’m gonna’ eat you
Like I’m gonna’ lose you
I’m gonna’ hold you
Like you’re running away

Wherever you’re standing
I won’t take you for granted
’cause I’ll never know when
When I’ll run out of mice

–

When I had you to myself
I didn’t want you around
Those silly phrases always made me
made me want to frown
Then someone called you into work
One call was all it took
Now it’s much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh, human, give me one more chance
To show you that you love me
Won’t you please let me
Back in the treats.
–
It’s not in the way that you hold me
It’s not in the way you say you care
It’s not in the way you’ve been treating me to fish
It’s not in the way that you put the food in my dish
It’s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you’ll do
Hold the line, dinner isn’t always on time,
meow, meow, meow

Spring Ahead

Today time will spring ahead

leaving a whole hour in the dust.

That’s an hour I could have had in bed

to sleep and snooze as I must.

So now I must find a way instead

to rework my schedule and adjust.

I think I’ll spend the whole day in bed

sleeping through this distrust.

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.

Trust Me

You say you’ve got to leave

as you’re walking out the door,

so what am I to believe?

I’m shaken to the core.

It’s not that I want you to stay,

in fact I don’t mind at all.

The longer you stay away,

the more I’ll have a ball.

So leave if you think you must

and know that I’ll be just fine

after all who can you trust

if not a mischievous feline?

Office Visit

I still can’t believe

you let her do that to me

how embarrassing it was

and you just didn’t see.

I looked you right in the eye

and pleaded for your help.

Still, you stood your ground,

perhaps I should have yelped.

I guess it is all over now

and you claim it was for the best

but how I’ll be teased,

you know cats love speaking in jest.

Forgive you, I may not,

but forget I’d like to do

so find me a fish this moment

so I can forget all about you.
