Kitty, Kitty

AUTHOR'S NOTES: What you're looking at is a poem of mine that I recently wrote for the "Clockwork Orange" fandom. It is told from the perspective of the Catlady, & it's all about her adorable feline pets & how much she enjoys their company...

...in her bizarre, introverted kinda way.

Reviews & constructive criticism are accepted, as long as they're not flames.


Kitty, kitty,
Prancing 'round on tiny little paws
Kitty, kitty,
Swiping out with itsy-bitsy claws

Tabby, ginger, tortoise-shell,
Cats of every sort & breed!
All of them are cared for well
And I tend to all of their needs

Kitty, kitty,
Lapping creamy milk up from your bowl
Kitty, kitty,
Guarding my new yarn ball that you stole

I've been in this house with you
For longer than I can recall!
You're the only friends I have,
The only friends I want at all...

Kitty, kitty,
Purring & meowing every minute
Kitty, kitty,
Looking through my vase to see what's in it

Felines, young & old alike,
How I enjoy your company!
Stay inside my mansion
And always remain with me

Kitty, kitty,
Rubbing up against the wooden door
Kitty, kitty,
Chasing toys & mice across the floor

When my time to leave arrives
And the last breath escapes from me,
Let the final sounds I hear
Be those of your melancholy...
