Ode to My Kitten

Oh my little one

You like to run much faster

Than any other kitty

But that could disaster

Oh small and restless one

The chairs are not for scratching

Inside your furry head

Ideas are quickly hatching

I have to do my thing! you cry

With cat exasperation

Fine, do your thing but have you ever

Heard of moderation?

Well no I guess you haven't

You want it fast you want it now

You're just a kid and everything

Seems new and fresh somehow

And how do I explain it

To such a little boy

Who wakes up every morning

And thinks the world's his toy

Everything facinates you

You rush at life, you want to see

And you will find your world as safe

As I can make it be

And though I know it's foolish

I like to dream that maybe

Through some strange freak of nature

You'll always stay a baby.
