Aside I stretch
Long and lean
Inside I wander
Proverbial and clean
The glare a thousand
Yawns away
The feeling of hunger
Always at bay
The hair clean
Licked and shined
The claws they work
In and out
And you my friend
You feel so great
Your leg it brings
A playful date
A lap to curl in?
A nook to squeeze?
A friend indeed
A friend to me
