CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE

By Ronald Percuoco

WHAT’S THE MATTER?
CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?
THEY SAY YOUTH IS WASTED
ON THE YOUNG.

WHISKERS HERE——–WHISKERS THERE
WHISKERS FLYING EVERYWHERE.
FELINE FOES FIGHTING FIERCELY
FOLKS———IT’S A CAT FIGHT.

DRINK MY MILK——-PURR FOR MY MASTER
A CAT’S LIFE IS HARD TO MASTER.
BUT FOR ME THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE.
I HAVE EIGHT MORE LIVES TO HELP ME COPE.

KITTEN SITTIN ON A RUG.
USE MY CLAWS TO KILL A BUG.
I HOPE MY KITTY LITTER’S NEW.
ACTING ALOOF IS WHAT I DO.

PERSIAN, ANGORA OR JUST A STRAY,
I ARCH MY BACK TO SHOW DISMAY.
I’LL LICK YOUR HAND IF YOU PET ME TWICE.
A BALL OF YARN WOULD SURE BE NICE.

I’M COUSIN TO LION AND LEOPARD AND SUCH.
I’M SOFT AND FURRY TO THE TOUCH.
I DON’T GET OUT NOW VERY MUCH
TRAPPED LIKE A RABBIT IN ITS HUTCH.

DID YOU LIKE MY LITTLE DITTY?
WON’T YOU TELL THIS PRETTY KITTY?
THEY SAY YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG.
WHAT’S THE MATTER? CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?
