For All The Cat People Of Amy's Place


Keeping Secrets





My big friend, Marvin had to go to "The Bad Place" the other day
And now he seems preoccupied and doesn't want to play
Which I can understand, considering the time that he was away

So I've been extra special careful at being as quiet as a mouse
Resisting the urge to capture all the shiny devices in the house
That might make loud, unwanted sounds and interrupt Marvin's rest

As I amble about on spotless gloves and spats at my behavior best
Yet, I miss my friend's clumsy, clicking gait and handsome, carefree smile
So I put away my concerns and sauntered close for a tete a tete

And didn't say a word about my favorite blanket upon which he'd set
As I found out what was the matter and why Marvin saw the Vet
When I discovered the problem had to do with my big friend's appetite

I nearly swatted Marvin's long damp nose out of angry Kitten spite
For a blockage had been created by a Chew Toy and my missing Catnip Mouse
And who can I tell this juicy secret to when it's known throughout the house?
