I'd like to be a cat,
I told the man with the magic hat.

Why, he questioned.
Well, I simply just mentioned,

I got so tired,
So then I got fired.

All cats do,
is wait for a coo.

They lay around,
walk the ground.

But a simple meow
And they'll give him some chow!

I just work all day long,
Fix things that go wrong.

Oh, please, give me a break!
This is as much as I can take!

The Magic Man waved his hand,
While I awaited something grand.

I turned into a Russian Blue,
I meowed a "whew".

I said thank you,
But, he had to...

He took me in as a pet,
Drove me out to the vet.

He now keeps me as his,
just for the biz.

We do magic shows!
Man, this really blows.

I didn't ask for this!
I guess, I can't really run away into bliss...
