Because I Love You
I lounge on your keyboard
Seductive
You know you want to pet this
You know you —
Hey!
What are you doing
Why would you move me
There must be some mistake
You must be lonely
With only
That machine for company
I jump
Back on your desk
Between you and my rival
Draw my tail
Across your face
A teasing benediction
To show my love for you —
Oh,
Were you drinking that?
You should thank me
Instead of yelling
For spilling that brown stuff
All over the keys
It smelled gross anyway
Why don’t you
Appreciate me?
Why must you
Spurn my advances?
My heart is broken
I flee
Trailing coffee pawprints
Under your bed
Coax me
With stuffed mice and ribbons
As long as you want
You’ll never see me again
Fickle human
Heartless human
Nothing you do
Will ever change my mind —
Do I smell tuna?
Well, I might take a peek
Just a little sniff
To see if it’s the right kind
It is!
You do love me!
I rub myself
All over your legs
Scream my ecstasy
As I await your tribute
Devour it
That was divine
That was —
Where did you go?
There,
In the couch room
Your warm lap beckons
I honor you
With the curl of my body
The touch of my soft fur
I hope you’re not hungry
Or needing to pee for some time
Because I love you
And I’m here to stay
Maybe forever
I am content here
And falling asleepurrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrr —
