I was snoozing like a lord
Peaceful and serene on my own
Felt some ticking in my fleece
Woke up but pretended to be asleep
Tickling kept on moving through
Till it roused my curiosity too
Opened one eye and sniffed the trail
Didn’t stir nor move my tail
Then it reached my soft like jelly
Fluffy and precious milky-white belly
Coiled and caught the thief off guard
Kicked and scratched and bit quite hard
Heard a loud scream shouting “ouch!”
Someone plummeted over the couch
Saw my hooman trip and land
Holding tight his bleeding hand
Yawned and watched him scramble to his feet
Stretched, curled, and went back to sleep
Mark my word, you won’t regret that
Never disturb a sleeping cat
