"A Cat Person's  Prayer"
                                      
Because I'm only human, it's sometimes hard to be 
the wise, all-knowing creature that my cat expects of me.
                                            
And so I pray for special help, to somehow understand 
the subtle implications of each proud meowed command.
                                         
Oh, let me not forget that chairs were put on earth to shred
and what I like to call a lap is actually a bed.
                                      
I know it's really lots to ask but please, oh please, take pity
and though I'm only human, make me worthy of my kitty!
