Kitty Marie Lucas - bad cat

ignore that cat
don't feed her
you know you won't keep her

that skinny kitty
that plain little thing

she is untame
you don't know where she's been
it is a feral thing
not to be trusted
nor cared for

if you try to feed
a damned cat
she's gonna be a mess
she will stay at your door
until you are
fed up

'no more, bad cat! '
you're gonna tell her
'go! '
so she'll leave
even lonelier than before

traces of her
will be everywhere
you'll never hide
that there was once
a little kitty
at your door

then that cat will be
long gone
more starved
cos she got used to
you feeding her

she is a troublesome thing

so just ignore that cat
don't feed her
you won't keep her
that skinny,
dirty,
lost kitty
