Why does the human live in a box like house?
Watching the idiot box all day
Only peeping out once or twice
To adjust the antenna signal in the way.
I am a little kitten, I stay outdoors all day
I dream of yummy things
And wish to lick a fishbone clean
Found in the roadside bin.
I wonder if the big fishes of the ocean
Would ever want to fly, like I do
Then I would meet them in the sky
And twirl gracefully in my rainbow tutu.
For now I could play with the human
Only if it would come out and
Give me some milk and candies,
Sit in the lush green grass
And watch the clouds dancing to
The tune of the blowing wind.
Oh what a wonderful day that would be!
Amazing Annie. So proud of you
