Cat Maiden

Here i sit warm on the fire side mat
Absolute mistress of all i see
No one expects any work from a cat
Cooking or cleaning or any of that
In a catskin i am free

Why should i be a woman at all
Why should i be a maid

In through the window or out through the door
I come and go however i choose
Claiming my place on the cushion or floor
Asking permission of none anymore
Nor fussing with dresses and shoes

Why should i be a woman at all
Why should i be a maid

Once i was human as any poor maid
Subject of orders and worthless rules
Servant to others and ill repaid
For my poor chastity always afraid
Subject of bullies and fools

Why should i be a woman at all
Why should i be a maid

Then the old wise woman taught me the way
Of shifting my shape to be wild and free
Gladly i changed and now gladly stay
Casting that slavish existence away
No more of that life for me

Why should i be a woman at all
Why should i be a maid

My old master thinks i was drowned in the stream
How often such vanishings do occur
Little he knows or could ever dream
As i stroll through the halls fed on dainties and cream
Or sit on the mat and purrrrr

Why should i be a woman at all
Why should i be a maid
