Bedtime

Do you wait for me?

Lying around in innocent idolatry?

Beautiful fur, crisp and clean

Softly resting on the velveteen

Is it our bedtime now?

Do you call for me, with a gentle meow?

First, I shall set the alarm

Then turn my focus on your charm

I caress your silky coat

Your purr makes me want to dote

Your whiskers give me a tickle

I don't pet you too much, I know you'll grow fickle

We shut our eyes in sweet slumber

Our dreams begin, they will be many in number
