My Cat by d. chaney

Pitter patter, Pitter patter
Pitter, pitter, pat
Velvet paws gliding silent
Leaping on my lap.

Arms outstretched, claws extent
Kneading me like dough
Piston action back and forth
Purring softly, slow.

Begging, pleading for a pet
Standing on back toes
Sidling up to nudge my face
Kiss upon my nose.

Stroking, stroking head to tail
Purring double time
Like a motor revving up
In ecstasy and rhyme.

So euphoric is my cat
Curled upon my lap
Gently purring as he sleeps
Contented little nap!
