Robin's out of town again, for work, so I'm here with the cats....It never fails though...the instant I lay down I have lines of poetry running through my head and by the time I get up and grab my glasses so I can see I've forgotten most of them...
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
But I’m so lonely when you’re gone
So I crawl onto the bed
And lay my head on her hip
And give her a scritch
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
So there I am on the bed
My head on a cat’s hip but
While I give her a scritch
Her tail tip starts to twitch
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
She gets so moody
When you’re not around
So I lay my head down on my arm
And continue to scritch
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
But she can’t be appeased
And I watch the tail tip twitch
Even though she’s purring
She’s contemplating clawing
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
Oh what I would give
To have you in my arms
Oh what I would give
To be in your arms
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
She finally gets mad and
She jumps off the bed
Now I’m even more lonely
And I lay here crying on the bed
Dot sleeps on the bed all day long
Without a care in the world because nothing can go wrong
Why can’t I be like Dot
Sleeping on the bed all day long
Without a single care in the world
Cause to her you’re never truly gone
At one time or another I believe we all have wished we could be, change places with a pet. Nice pondering here. I enjoyed a peep into yours and Dot's world!
