A Cat's Bedtime Prayer

       Now I lay me down to sleep,
     I pray this cushy life to keep.
     I pray for toys that look like mice,
     And some cushions, soft and nice.
     For grocery bags where I can hide,
     Just like a tiger, crouched inside!

     I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
     And someone nice to scratch my back.
     For window sills all warm and bright,
     And shadows to explore at night.

     I pray I'll always stay real cool,
     And keep the secret feline rule.
     To NEVER tell the humans that,
     This world is really ruled by cats!
