"How did you get to be
So pretty and sweet ?"
I asked my cat,
Who's never had a bath
Or brushed her fur.
She purred at my compliment,
Arched her back a little bit
And twitched her tail.
She'd rather be favored
And preferred than eat
And will only nibble a bit from her dish
If I pet her first.
So maybe lovin' makes her sweet,
And rubbin' makes her pretty.
