Meet my two black cats
Moishe and Mordecai
two funny little fellows
to describe them I will try
They're quite entitled
so cocky, furry and sleek
They think we are their servants
They're not very meek!
But yanno I wouldn't have
them any other way
even their naughty antics
honestly make my day
they never once looked back
they never longed to roam
Moishe wandered a bit
but quickly came back home
it's true that Mord's a stinker
in fact he's a thieving brat
but still for all we love him
this light-pawed little cat
you always know where he is
by sound of things crashing
as he pushes stuff off the counter
he particularly loves glass smashing
and then there's us yelling
as he thuds to the floor
he somehow gets the treats
while we get the cleanup chore
he has zero conscience
we've concluded with defeat
without at least one cat-astrophe
his day is not complete
Moishe is loud and bossy
when to the basement he goes
But he makes up for it with
all the affection he shows
And yanno I've learned a lot
from my two kitty boys
to take my pleasures where I can
and celebrate the simple joys
So what's one jar among friends?
what's one stinky pickle-y mess?
not such a big hairy deal
if it gives them such happiness
Mord this is no excuse for breaking
and at you we will still exclaim
Moishe you'll get a scold too
you profit from his ill-gotten gain
But it's also a lesson on battles
those worth fighting and those not
what counts is loved ones including cats
and we're thankful for who we got
