Shameless

By Chad Hollis

I would like to be a cat
Not that I dislike being me
But, if I were a cat
I would not eat for two days
find a puddle to jump in
crawl to your door
Cold, hungry, and wet
Play shamelessly upon your emotions
Thereby to gain
A place nearer to you
Than the place where now I sit
Perchance to have you pet me
Or hold me on your lap
And with luck
Share your bed
Through the long and lonely night
