Dance of the Circles

dance of the circles

lassoing legs with chirps and meows

as I do formally announce

the long anticipated

dinner hour

annoying  …

bare bowl

has lain empty

since lunch time

most unsatisfactory

state of events

no cream

in the saucer

lapped up

hours ago

the service here

I daresay

has quite … gone to pot

elegant am I

having deigned to grace you

though mere serfs and peasants

with my revered, regal presence

I implore you to respect

the divine right of cats

Meow!
the lateness of the meal
has awakened my tiredness
I will dance in a circle
of ever decreasing size
here, in your lap

Y-a-w-n

You may pet me now

s--t--r--e---t--c--h

I will ...

... allow it ...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
