MY KITTY


MY KITTY


MY KITTEN HAS PROVED UNFAITHFUL

I EXPECTED IT
FROM MY WIFE’S TOM
WHO THINKS I’M BELOW THE SALT
IF NOT BENEATH THE TABLE

BUT THE LITTLE KITTEN I THOUGHT
WOULD BE MY PAL
BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE SO

WE HAD COMPANY
AND THE OFFICE CHAIR
WHICH IS BY MY BED
WAS HER FAVORITE PLACE TO SPEND THE NIGHT

WHEN WE MOVED THE CHAIR
I THOUGHT
SHE’LL SLEEP WITH ME
I’LL HAVE A PET ALL MY OWN

BUT ALAS
WHEN THE CHAIR MOVED
SO DID SHE

I’M HEARTBROKEN
CRUSHED
THE UNFAITHFUL WENCH
HOW COULD SHE

AND THE OLD TOM LOOKED AT ME
WITH A GLANCE THAT SAID
I TOLD YOU
YOU WERE BELOW THE TABLE

AND I KNEW IT WAS TRUE
