The Hungry Cat's Tale

What are these pangs That wake me from my slumber? Hunger?!? You devilish bastard, My own worst enemy, what balls is this? Come to fight me on my own turf, How dare you? Not even bothering to show your own face. How fare you? So poor that you must come bother me, A plump little house cat such as I, truly You disgust me. Hiss. ....... From the land of the warming rays you would pluck me My own sacred home, you disrupt me! But of course Hunger never goes away on its own, It’ll prick at you and prod and wear you down to the bone Until you feed it some delicate morsel, Like tuna, perhaps. I was always partial Towards tuna. ....... Hunger’s a real witty foe, too, Never facing you head on, no It’s much too smart for that. The fool makes you walk to the kitchen. That’s about thirty bloody steps for me, God I despise it; but then of course I have to prep for it! Mewing pitifully and rolling around on my back, Enticing that lazy-arse human to tally from his track And come feed me. Jesus, pity me, I know I do. ........ “Oh, look at the cute little kitty fuzz awww” Oh piss off and feed me you twat “Aw but you’re such a fat little cat! You don’t need the food!” I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch it, what was that? I’m dying of hunger over here, mate. You’re not going to feed me? Just walk away? Very well, you’ve made your play. I’m gonna go whiz in your shoes, How’s that for a how-do-you-do? ........ Hunger, my mortal enemy, my only friend, You’ve won this fight, but it’s not the end. You might grumble my stomach in sweet revelry, Taking joy in my delicious misery- But hark, what’s this before me?? Oh hunky dory, ~purr~ ... There’s no way he’s this stupid, for sure... Oh, but there is, though it cannot be! My master’s, (unawares), left out a morsel for me. You hear that, Hunger, it’s fantastic, I’ve won! (Even though you’re victory had only just begun), Dear fat master had left out his food, you see And now I shall feast and set my hunger free. For in front of me, O Sweet Salvation! ... A sandwich, for my consumer-ation.

i had sort of imagined this being read in a sort of stuck up, lazy british accent.
