It’s dismal outside and there’s a cat on my lap.

I need to figure out what the notch setting is.
It’s still too early for a nap.

Trying not to borrow mayhem or mayhap,
just getting ready for some electric bliss—
it’s dismal outside and there’s a cat on my lap.

There’s another cat by the table lamp.
Both those sweet cats thank me for the fish,
but it’s still too early for a nap.

A cat always makes a good prop
in a photo or a poem—everyone wants to kiss
the kitty, when it’s purring on their lap—

why I need to wind my ditties up
and try to send them through the pa speakers.—
This fiddling makes me want to take a nap

right now, it’s so drony and grindy!
The kitty’s already sleeping, vibrating my chest,
right here in my lap.
Bow a nap!
