Sleeping Cat

Curling tail and pinkish nose

Furry, whitish letter C

Now an O, ignoring me

I envy all your slumber there

Effortless and lazy air

Ignorant of care or woe

No clock to punch, no row to hoe

Regal even as you doze

Inverted head your latest pose

Snaggled grin and twitching lip

Spiraled spine and tucked-in hip

Our globe would be so sweet if we

Could find such easy peace as thee

Put aside all cares and strife

That so beset a human life

If our cares could all consist

Of how to lie, which way to twist

Peace would reign o'er all the world

'Pon which we'd lie, our bodies furled
