My Kitty Cat

by Ryan Gibbs

My kitty cat is black and white.
She sleeps all day and plays all night.
At dawn she knows when to be fed
And walks atop my sleepy head.

Once she finally gets her food,
She soon adopts a happy mood.
Then in the chair she likes the best,
She stretches out to take a rest.

When the watchful sun fades away,
Kitty knows it’s time to play.
She hunts me down throughout the house
As though I were a hiding mouse.

She bats my pen and starts to fight,
Making it hard for me to write.
When I at last can take no more,
She hits my pen across the floor.

I go to bed and start to doze,
With kitty nibbling at my toes.
She licks my feet to makes amends,
Letting me know we are still friends.
