USA Catnap Letting out a lengthy yawn,
Just before the break of dawn.
After a busy night of play,
Time to snooze the day away.
A quick bath, licking paws,
Taking time to trim the claws.
Finding a blanket in which to wrap,
Time to take another catnap.
A familiar sound from the kitchen comes,
As the can opener begins to hum.
Stretching a nose to glean a whiff,
Time to get up for a detailed sniff.
Leaping quickly off the bed,
Knowing it's time to be fed.
Leaving behind not a single scrap,
Time to take another catnap.
Contently sitting, licking chops,
From the window, watching raindrops.
Outside, it's dark and dreary,
Inside, it's warm and cheery.
Needing to feel safe and snug,
Deciding it's time for a hug.
Seeking out a familiar lap,
Time to take another catnap.
Crawling out of a nice warm sack,
Time to grab a little snack.
Eating some dry food, at first,
Working up a terrible thirst.
Leaping up, on the sink,
Gracefully balanced, on the brink.
After a quick drink from the tap,
Time to take another catnap.
Just about this time each day,
Feeling frisky, time to play.
Ignoring toys with all the fluff,
Don't like all that store bought stuff.
A piece of paper or rubber ball,
Something to chase on down the hall.
Hiding toys with a quick paw slap,
Time to take another catnap.
Tis the life of a domestic cat,
Being lazy and getting fat.
Misbehavior requires admonition,
Giving love, without condition.
Gently stroking thick soft fur,
Letting out a contented purr.
Forgiven any minor mishap,
Time to take another catnap.
