The Christmas Kitten
I once was a cuddly kitten,
But now I am a stray,
'Cuz when I was no longer fluffy,
They sent me on my way.
They've kept the big Alsatian,
As he can bark and growl,
But I could fly at strangers,
If I caught them on the prowl.
I slink around their dustbin;
I mew outside their door;
But it's clear from their behavior,
They don't want me anymore.
Now I'm cold and hungry,
And getting very thin,
What have I done to hurt them,
Why won't they let me in?
I crouch in sheds and boxes,
In my bedraggle fur,
So shivery and dejected,
I cannot even purr.
They have another kitten,
Their children's whole delight;
But probably next Christmas,
it will share my wretched plight.
