my cat doesn't like the ballet
but loves watching Cirque du Soleil
and with my permission
he wants to audition
so now climbs this rope every day
I said: sure why not, but don’t sway
When football is on, stay away
For I’m no magician
And you’re full nutrition
Might otherwise come into play
But kitty continued astray
My arguments didn’t outweigh
I asked a physician
He’s quite a tactician
and told me that cats have their way
