This Cat's On The Ball

by James Donovan
(Seabeck, Wa. USA)

If you want to get a pet
I think a cat is your best bet.

Give your cat a special toy
and he will likely jump for joy.

If you give your cat a pretty ball
you'll probably drive him up a wall,

He will jump around and bounce
and on that little ball he'll pounce.

When he's tired he'll stop to nap
and probably wind up in your lap.

You'll tickle him and rub his fur
and he will answer with a purr

He will fill your life with bliss
by giving you a whiskered kiss.

He may be a silly cat, it's true;
but he is just as smart as you.

And you'll soon find you don't regret
the day you got your feline pet.
