Sleeping Cat

Sleeping Cat

Feline grace, in such repose
Curling tail and pinkish nose
Furry, whitish letter C
Now an O, ignoring me

I envy all your slumber there
Effortless and lazy air
Ignorant of care or woe
No clock to punch, no row to hoe

Regal even as you doze
Inverted head your latest pose
Snaggled grin and twitching lip
Spiraled spine and tucked-in hip

Our globe would be so sweet if we
Could find such easy peace as thee
Put aside all cares and strife
That so beset a human life

If our cares could only consist
Of how to lie, which way to twist
Peace would reign o’er all the world
‘Pon which we’d lie, our bodies furled

Just a dollar or two to help me keep writing would be appreciated!
