Forgive Me
Forgive me, I’m a curious cat
they always tell me to scat
cause around them I prowl
they dare come near me, I growl
they yell
"go away"
cause they can’t pet me
it’s just a case of envy
they think it unfair that I can be a peeve
I’m not
until they sneeze my hairs stand on end
and then they scatter
they sneeze even louder,
forgive me, I am a curious cat
I can be annoying but I’m cute
a ploy
as you should know
I’m very coy
forgive me because I’m a curious cat,
they always tell me to scat
they never think I’m the one hiding behind the corner
they know my affection is earned
us curious cats are a wonder
because we are stunning
when we are not running
affection is hard to come by from us
once you earn it
you will learn it
there’s a method to our madness
our routine
we have it down pat
they utter, “ What was that?”
I say, “Forgive me, I am a curious cat”
