Trees & Cats
There is a yellow cat
high up in my tree
It refuses to come down
from its calm little seat
I stand there for a moment or two
wonder how he got up there
His fluffy tail wiping side to side
with a piercing undisturbed stare
People star to come up
crowding around the street to see
The thoughts that could flash through their minds
about the cat in the tree
But I don’t see the feline
not in the same way they do
When I see the furry little kitty
all I can see is me
The want to be alone
high up in a tree
Where no one can touch
so no one can get me
But the purring inside
betrays by every whim
Because I want someone to try
and get me from the tree
