You are a most lovely prima ballerina
And most befitting the role, my dear
Never mind the "teacher's pet" talk
Idle chatter
I bow to your majesty
Humbly play understudy to your lead
Purr with satisfaction just to
Snake my body through your lithe legs
As you bestow a gentle scratch behind the ear
From your exalted fingers
Heavens no!
That was not a hiss but a purr of bliss!
My sweet ballerina,
Let not my eyes cause you dismay
This jade green is not envy
But my inherent way
I have nine lives
And you, but one
So enjoy your fortune while you are able
For you will not be the ingenue forever
Oh, am I being catty?
I will put away my claws then
And applaud your success
Perhaps in another life
I shall steal your breath away

This is intriguing - and holds your attention all the way through. :)
oo la...some seductive sensuality with a little bit of claw as well..smiles...lovely verse...
Very clever, but isn't it a nervous enterprise for a mouse to write about a cat?
It's sometimes amazing how we and our furry friends become one and the same. Just who is keeping who here?
