Needy

The cats whole body yawns
For the sixth time in an hour
Stretching it’s will
To get off the couch for a minute
And whimpers for its bowl to be filled
Does it even like this food
An irrelevant question
That full-claw effort to standup
Deserves a treat
At least it thinks so
Leave me alone cat
Your whining is interrupting my relaxation
