Hey, I meow, / Aren’t I a funny cat? / But all Miss’s friends do / Is sometimes ruffle my hair /And turn back to the cats / That are somehow so interesting. / Now that Miss has a rectangle / She never has time for me
Why do Boss and Miss
Have their noses stuck
In this metal rectangle
All day?
Miss spent the whole day on it
The first day she got one.
Boss looked proud.
Miss is the daughter of Boss and a lady
Miss cries about
In her room sometimes.
I have never met her.
Now that Miss has a rectangle
She is either crying
Or “tech-sting”
Which I think is a good name for it.
The sting of technology.
Now that Miss has a rectangle
She invites her friends over
And they giggle over funny cat videos.
Hey, I meow,
Aren’t I a funny cat?
But all Miss’s friends do
Is sometimes ruffle my hair
And turn back to the cats
That are somehow so interesting.
Now that Miss has a rectangle
She never has time for me
And I never chase a ball of string
That she tugs away from me.
She never pulls me into her bed at night
And falls asleep
Her nose in my warm, soft fur.
She never even steps on my tail
Like she did when she was short
A long time ago.
Now that Miss has a rectangle
All she cares about
Are the cats on her rectangle
That are more funny than me.
