When I was a kitten
by Duncan MacKellar
When I was a kitten
I was smaller than a mitten,
Everyone who saw me said, "Ah!"
If I got in a muddle,
I'd always get a cuddle,
They'd never let me wander very far.
I remember being small
I was the cutest of them all,
They'd smile and call out my name.
I'd play on the rug,
They'd give me a hug,
It was all like a wonderful game.
I was such a chubby thing
I'd jump and spring,
I had beautiful soft shiny fur.
I was brave for my size,
I'd chase spiders and flies,
A tickle would always make me purr.
But the more I grew,
The less people said, "OO!"
I soon became worldly and wise.
Now I hunt with skill,
I enjoy the thrill,
I'm a master of stealth and surprise.
I'm muscle and bone,
I can stand on my own,
I know how to sharpen my claws.
I let my fur down,
With nights on the town,
I can wash my face with my paws.
Now that I'm grown
I'm out on my own.
I get to do things my own way.
But I still enjoy fish,
In my special dish,
Served up for my dinner each day.
