The Cat's Prayer

                  Now I lay me down to sleep,
                 I pray this cushy life to keep.
            I pray for toys that look like mice,
             And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
              I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
         And someone nice to scratch my back,
          For windowsills all warm and bright,
               For shadows to explore at night.
               I pray I'll always stay real cool
               And keep the secret feline rule
               To NEVER tell a human that
            The world is really ruled by CATS!

                 Now I lay me down to sleep,
             The king-sized bed is soft and deep...
               I sleep right in the center groove
             My warm human can hardly move!
        I've trapped her legs; she's tucked in tight
              And here is where I pass the night
            No one disturbs me or dares intrude
         Till morning comes and "I want Food!"

                   I sneak up slowly to begin
              By nibbles on my human's chin.
      She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth -
              And my claws I will unsheathe
     For the morning's here and it's time to play
                  I always seem to get my way.
              So thank you Lord for giving me
                This human person that I see.
           The one who hugs and holds me tight
               And sacrifices her bed at night.
