A tale of a clumsy kitty

Oh my beautiful majestic kitty

How you love to sit so pretty!

You always surprise me with your new spots you find to lounge in.

And mornings with you always bring such joy.

But tell me why,

My darling pet!

You inspire in sitting on such a small ledge!

Pleading to be petted and showing off your belly.

High on the ledge above my bed,

Looking at me ever so lovingly.

You roll and demand to be petted.

And I’ve warned you.

You’re going to fall if you keep rolling like that

But I do suppose you are a cat.

And you must think yourself to be smart and nimble.

And well I think your rather sharp.

And make a great string catcher.

It’s simple gravity my dear

And you will have to bow down to it too.

But alas! You do not heed such warnings

And continue to roll softly

Until you’ve unbalanced yourself

And with a meow of protest,

You come crashing down on my head.

I try to console you and pet your silly head

But if your tail tells me anything

I think this may just be how a cat finds herself to be embarrassed.

As she flicks her tail and stubbornly walks away.
