If Only God Lived 9 Lives
The first thing I learned in my life as a cat
Is that the whole "nine lives" things is just a big crock! Four lives, tops.
I lost Life #1 when I fell into the toilet bowl
Life #2 was over almost as soon as it began - damn truck
Life #3 involved an unfortunate accident with a mexican and a jackhammer
Life #4 the dryer was way too hot
Surprise of my life! I woke up dead
If that was bad, the taxidermist was worse
He insisted on preserving my memories
Frankly, I'd rather have had someone else's
Now I stare, glassy-eyed , from my former person's shelf
Life #5 was most lovely, Godiva chocolate was the cause.
Life as now know it has been rejuvinated by my belief in the lord.
So over the rainbow I go to the other side
I'm sacred in many religions, you know
But what do I care as long as there is a warm lap waiting for me
Ah, the warm lap of the cat god, my lordly lion
Let us bring lightning down on dogkind
Leaving Lap Givers as the only remaining curs
As you know, there are many intelligent species, but they are all owned by cats.
Still, none but cats are intelligent enough to recognize this
Indeed perhaps the feline race might be more intellegent than us all
But then again...aren't i the dead one afterall.
