I Love Cats

©2007 Dave Clegg

Among us men, there is a rule

That dogs are king and cats ain’t cool.

Sorry, boys, I disagree.

Cats are A-OK with me.

I love cats.

I love cats.

Barbecued or southern fried,

Peas and taters on the side.

The fur makes really nice hats.

I love cats.

When my saliva starts to flow

For Siamese or calico,

I know it’s time for a good

Safari through my neighborhood.

I love cats.

I love cats.

Chop some onions, carrots too,

Break out the crock pot. Let’s have stew!

The fur makes really nice hats.

I love cats.

For my back yard barbecue,

Not just any meat will do.

T-bone steak just ain’t the same

As a tabby cooked over open flame.

I love cats.

I love cats.

Marinated, fricasseed,

Roasted or rotisseried.

The fur makes really nice hats.

I love cats.

Well, you think it’s cruel, you say I’m mean

To indulge in feline cuisine.

But, man, I’d love another batch

Of kitty cat chile made from scratch.

I love cats.

I love cats.

I do declare, I think I’ll die

If I don’t get some cat pot pie.

The fur makes really nice hats.

I love cats.
