Sleeping Cat


I see a sleeping cat 
at the end of my bed
shaped like a crescent moon, 
what dreams in her head?

with legs stretched out 
and her tail curled round
she almost looks dead 
because she makes no sound

if you look carefully 
her breathe is very slow
such a little minx 
but I love her so

ears pricked up sharp 
as she lays at rest
looks so content 
if poked she would protest !

looks so tranquil there
but she knows what`s going on
don`t let her fool you
she thinks it`s so much fun

I see a snoozing cat 
who`s watchful of the day
peacefully sleeping
but alert in every way !
