A Kitty's Want Ad
by Mary F.
(North Carolina)
I'm just a tiny kitten
Not yet a full grown cat
You think I wont amount to much
I think your're wrong about that.
I'm seeking someone special
with lots of love to give.
A house that is a loving home
is where I choose to live.
I'd like to live with children
who love the game of chase.
I hear that they have tender hearts
and a sweet little innocent face.
I know there will be a kitchen
so warm and quaint and sweet.
I could lay in front of the window.
Now, wouldn't that be neat?
I'm not trying to be picky.
No, I'd never ever do that.
I only seek a life of love
There is nothing wrong with that.
There might even be a doggie.
On that I might agree.
But soon that dog will surely see
The boss is going to be me!
I'll share my bed with that ole mutt.
I'll even share my toys.
He will become a pal of mine.
We'll share a life of joy.
My humans will be gentle folk
People who love their cat.
They wont be mean like I have seen
Oh, I am sure of that!
They will love me till I'm older
Nine lives of night and day.
I'll die a very grateful cat.
It has to be that way.
But for now I'm just a kitten
waiting for the perfect home.
Wont you make my dreams come true
and make me all your own?
