Meow
(Mercedes Lackey)
Aren't I kind to allow you to live in my house?
Aren't I gracious to grant you the use of my chair?
Aren't I utterly, totally, beyond compare?
Aren't I wonderfull when I give you a dead mouse?
And don't you admire the virtues you see?
in marvelous, lovely, magnificent me-ow
me-e-e-ow-wow-wow, me-ow, me-e-e-ow
I will carefully shed just selected dark hairs
When I'm lying on all the white laundry you did;
And the dark hairs will go, when I bother to lair
on black velvet, were they can't be brushed off or hid
They looks so much better that way, you'll agree!
They'll remind you of lovely, magnificent me-ow
me-e-e-ow-wow-wow, me-ow, me-e-e-ow
If you try to insist that I live on dry food,
I will either look thin, and pathetic, and sad,
Or I just might do something discosting and rude
such as eat it, and throw up all over your bed.
Only chicken, and liver, and fish, naturally
are fit for the pallet of marvelous me-ow
me-e-e-ow-wow-wow, me-ow, me-e-e-ow
I really don't undersand why you should look
At anything else or have things in your hands
So I'll patiently lie on your papers or book
To suggest that you treat me as my rank demands
You really should pet me if your hands are free.
It's a privilege to fondle magnificent me-ow
me-e-e-ow-wow-wow, me-ow, me-e-e-ow
Or just when your maddest at something I've done
I'll go do something else thats so touching and sweet
Thats so charming, adorable, silly, or fun
It'll just knock the stocking clean off of your feet.
You know you can't win, so why fight it, you see?
You know your a sucker for marvelous me-ow
me-e-e-ow-wow-wow, me-ow, me-e-e-ow
You know your a sucker for marvelous me!
