I must have overslept
or perhaps stayed up all night.
Either way I have forgotten
what I meant to write.
I could tell you lies
or I could just go back to sleep
and let the words stay
in my own head to keep.
I must have lost track
of all time and day
but such trivial things
just get in a cat’s way.
So back to sleep I head
and dreaming I will do
since mice and z’s don’t catch themselves,
a fact cats know is true.
