Grown-ups and Cats

            Grown-Up? Well Maybe.
Am I grown-up? Well Maybe. It only depends.
I had many ideals on what I wanted to be when
I was an adult and thought:
          Maybe I'll be a doctor like Doogie Howser?
                    No not a doctor.
          Maybe I'll be a detective like Nancy Drew?
                    A sleuth? No way.
Senior year dad boasted that I wanted to be the
next weather woman from Oklahoma.
          Maybe I did, but now I don't think so.
Now I want to be an Astronomer,
          but maybe I'll be something else tomorrow.

This one below is for all of the cleverest felines I had crossed paths with.

Learn To Be A Cat
          Learn to be a cat
          sly, sneaky
          snooping through
          the garbage in the ally
          land on your feet when
          jumping from above
          to pounce upon another
          feline to give them
          some bad luck
          and maybe next
          time they'll stay
          out of your territory
          learn to be a cat.
