Every cat likes a stroke
Yet casual
And not too fast.
It does not:
Like a finger to poke
A sudden yell
Or a hand to last
Too long on one spot.
What can we learn from the cat?
It is not wrong to pet
But you should never let
Your desires get
The better of you
That won't do.
That won't do.
For who was ever fond
Of the greedy "I want!"
But who has ever declined
A want intertwined
With a give
Of live and let live.
If you you follow these rules
Every cat drools.
These rules also apply
To some people, no lie!
