stalking the dot
by Maria Francescamy human's a good one -
well-mannered and sweet;
her softly clad lap makes an adequate seat
she catches on quickly -
she learns what she's taught
but I wish she'd get rid
of that little red dot:
that little red dot
that runs round the room -
one day it will meet
with its well-deserved doom
it thinks it will beat me -
I swear it will not;
one day I will murder that little red dot!
my life is quite lovely
my world is in tune
I snack in the mornings
then slumber 'til noon
I'm never too hungry,
too cold,
or too hot -
it all would be perfect
except for that dot
that little red dot
that darts round the floor -
I chase it until I can't run anymore
it thinks it outsmarts me
but it will be caught -
one day I will murder that little red dot!
