black and red and sweet
cuddly bristles all down your back
cute little scrambling feet
running to your hidey hole
to spend some time asleep
before you go, I’ll just reach out
and caress you tenderly
you stop and turn
I mean no harm
you are so patient with me;
as if to say, “Yes I know
thank you kindly, mam,
but I’ve somewhere to be.”
and how that reminds me of
some people I know
who stay quite busy busy;
So productive they are
they get more done in a day
then I do in a week!
but how like me you are
to be quick to run home and sleep!
