Kitten

As I hear it purr

I reach out and pet it

Getting a nasty scratch

It didn’t know my intentions

It seemed to think

Living outside feral was okay

I just wanted to take it to the vet

Get its shots and take it home

Give it a happy family

To call its own

So I seize the chance

Grabbing it by the scruff of the neck

And I call the kitten my own

My constant companion

It follows me around

My pet, it purrs around my feet

It owns me now you see

But I don't care

For its wormed its way 

Into my heart

And into my bed

It has its own pillow

Beside my head

It's family to me
