Ode To Cats
Never so confident
As a self-employed rat-catcher
A freelance con-artist
With a bowl at each home
Only concept of ownership
Leave him alone
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
Roams through the gardens
Surveying the kingdom
He walks over fences and walls
He don't rate those who temper opinions for kindness
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
He commits
To the torment of smaller animals
Walks with a smile
A lick of the lips
Returns with a blackbird
Feathers gone, exposing the ribs
He's got no questions, cares for no solar eclipse
He does what he does and lives how he lives
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
Roams through the gardens
Surveying the kingdom
He walks over fences and walls
He don't rate those who temper opinions for kindness
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
Roams through the gardens
Surveying his kingdom
As a self-employed rat-catcher
A freelance con-artist
With a bowl at each home
Only concept of ownership
Leave him alone
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
Roams through the gardens
Surveying the kingdom
He walks over fences and walls
He don't rate those who temper opinions for kindness
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
He commits
To the torment of smaller animals
Walks with a smile
A lick of the lips
Returns with a blackbird
Feathers gone, exposing the ribs
He's got no questions, cares for no solar eclipse
He does what he does and lives how he lives
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
Roams through the gardens
Surveying the kingdom
He walks over fences and walls
He don't rate those who temper opinions for kindness
He's got lions and tigers in his genes
These instincts adapt
And march down the street
Roams through the gardens
Surveying his kingdom
