I'm Not Paranoid by Francesco Marciuliano in I Could Pee on This, And other Poems Written by Cats
I'm not touching my food because
There's a pill in it
I'm not having that treat because
There's a pill in it
I'm not going near your hand because
There's a pill in it
I'm not playing with that toy because
There's a pill in it
I'm not going into that room because
There's a pill in it
I'm not sleeping on that couch because
There's a pill in it
I'm not looking at the sky because
There's a pill up there
I'm not doing anything because
There's a pill everywhere
You may think I'm paranoid,
You may think I'm rather nuts,
But you're not going to fool me twice
And besides, I think I can cure
hookworm with my mind.
Thought most of us cat owners could relate to this cat paranoia!!
