Curtain Call

It is true I’m a player
and I do it so well, my lovies

I come from a long line
of cat burglars, but I got out

Strut the boards
With the dignity of a Siamese

Cat calls, encores
I take them all in my stride

My performances are legendary
my darlings, I am a King

Watch the Queens flaunt
throw gifts at my feet

They purr around the stage door
where I paw an autograph or two

Next week, I am starring
in The Nine Lives of Pussy Willow

Look out for the red herrings
before I eat them!
