An Artsy Entry

Dear Judith posed a question

What animal would you be

If you had the chance to change your shape

and live so differently.

I would of course be a house cat

To be pampered, spoiled and more

And spend my hours in kittenish splendor

with never a manicured paw outdoor.

Wait! Perhaps I'd be a bird,

with the world at my feet.

It would be a traffic free life, that's for sure..

Now wouldn't that be sweet.

Hmmm...But then again I'm not fond of heights,

So that choice might not be the best

So I'm back to being a cat again,

yes, that's better than the rest.

Although ... you know....it might be fun,

to be a wild animal too;

A Lion or Tiger or Bear in the woods.. Oh MY,

No, that will never do.

I could be an ant on a picnic all day,

or a housefly on the wall;

but both are rather dull when compared

to a cat who has it all.

I could of course, live life as a dog,

they are pets showered with love;

but when it came to doing tricks

I'm afraid I'd have to say *ahem* shove... it.

A cat will look at you like you're quite insane

And do whatever, when it pleases...

Which is pretty much the way I live my life now

just without the fleas -es.
