Oh! You Little Naughty Thing!

Oh! You little naughty thing,
How I adore you!
But you are so naughty…

Look at you yelling at the door.
Now you are up on the counter top.
Now you are dashing between my ginger steps…

I will squish you if you aren’t careful!

But you are careful aren’t you?
You are agile.
You are swift.

Come here you little naughty thing.
Let me cuddle you.
Let me run my fingers along your silky back.
Your purr, against my lap, is all I need.

Oh! You little naughty thing,
Come back here!
Don’t tease me with your fickle affection…

Look at you lazing in the sun.
Now you are hunting bugs,
Now you are darting between the low branched bushes.

I will love you if you aren’t careful.

But you are careful aren’t you?
You are distant.
You are indifferent.

Come here you little naughty thing.
Let me cuddle you.
Let me run my fingers along your silky back.
Your purr, against my lap, is all I really need.
