Queen for a Day

When i used to stroke her fur

Lizzie would begin to purr.

It was like a gentle snore

which meant that she wanted more.

A perfect sound of content

as her morning nap was spent.

With mutual affection

my lap was her selection.

I somehow felt kind of proud

that this closeness was allowed.

Cats may often seem haughty.

Her love almost seemed naughty.

When i turned her motor on

all her haughtiness was gone.
