Come On Jump Down
You Know Better
Every day my cat does the same thing
She jumps up on the kitchen counter
Then I do the same thing
I tell you to get down
Then you hop down like you didn't know you weren't suppose to be up there
Are you playing games with me ?
Testing to see if I will give in ?
Do you forget from yesterday that I told you no ?
Some how you remember everything else you did
Me patting you for over an hour
Where the kitty litter box was
The sound of the can opener
You came running
Thinking it was a can of tuna
Our car pulling up in the drive way
You were ready to greet us at the door
Where your glass of water is
Even your little basket in the bathroom that you take your naps in
So I can't believe you don't remember when I tell you to get down
That leads me to believe
You are trying to outsmart me
Many things change over time
This is one more thing my cat and I will always have
That we won't see eye to eye
It makes me wonder
If she does this just to get some exercise
Wouldn't it be funny
If maybe just maybe this is her way of saying
I am here and I won't let you forget me
