Ode to an Unknown Cat

Wouldst thou but deem me worthy
to stroke thy regal head...
Or find my pillow soft enough
to grace my meager bed.

Couldst thou be coaxed
with bowl of milk,
a tidbit rare,
or bed of silk...

Your willing servant
I would be
if thou couldst find
some need of me.

Alas, my ploys are all in vain ~
your eyes regard me with disdain.
Thou gifts upon thee I wouldst heap,
You take your leave

in
   one
       grand
              leap!
