My Cat Won't Let Me Sleep

I hear clawing on the sides of the bed

Wake up wake up sleepy head

I crawl out of bed and put some food down for my cat to eat

She wants to play not eat

So she climbs on my desk nocking one of the speakers to the floor

Ruffles through papers as she explores even more

Stop it I say

She insists she wants to play

It is 5:05 in the morning

My eyes closed and me still yawning

I throw her a toy

She watches it go across the room

I am not going to run for it

So I go get it and throw it again

She watches me her head turning and probably laughing

I'm not getting it

I throw it again this time she walks away

I had enough your no fun

I am not going to run

So I go to the kitchen to get something to eat

She jumps on the counter and rolls across the table and bounces on her feet

I want to play

So I take out a feather duster she usually goes crazy for

This time she watched me play with it

Back and forth tapping it on the floor

She rolled over still bored

I go on the computer

She jumps up in my face

I want to play

I put her down and back behind the computer she goes

Clawing at every wire she sees

I scoot her out and give her a treat

She sniffs and lifts up her head

I want to play

Off to bed I bring her to the edge next to my feet where she sleeps

She instantly hops down

I want to play

I get up and pat her once again

Finding another toy she likes

She is just like a girl I knew hard to please and loves to tease

She has pushed all my buttons and she still wants something else

I am not sure what

I don't think I will ever know

What makes her happy or keeps her satisfied

She has me mystified
