American Dream
A white picket fence
& grass that was green
A wife to clean a mess
Was every mans' dream
A two story house
& a car that runs
& lots of land
to make use of their guns
American Dream
What does that mean?
To each his own
Lest no one can groan
Two kids at home
One boy & one girl
A cat & a dog
That chases the squirrels
A pasture with cows
For fresh, warm milk
& hens that lay eggs
& crickets that chirp
A wood floor that creaks
A tin roof up above
A household not perfect
But a home filled with love
American Dream
What does that mean?
Pretty Kitty
I bought a kitty cat
because pretty she sat
She's a divine feline
& when I recline
to drink red wine
She is inclined
to resign & unwind
I bought a kitty cat
because pretty she sat
Gypsy is her name
& not one is the same
I did not have to spend
too much money to buy my new friend
I adopted her for her birthday in July
after seven months in I guess that's why
She's blacker than midnight
An insomniac that never sleeps
A miniature panther
that only halfway sees
In the day
she likes to lay
& watch butterflies
fly by in the blue sky
I bought a kitty cat
because pretty she sat
Gypsy is her name
& not one is the same
