Beautifully rich plants grow against the house We are here often The cat he’s a beast A true predator He’s loyal And delicate He lives a life of respect The geckos run against the ceiling On the top edge of the wall Catching moths and spiders They fear me But I do them no harm I love the wild life It’s a life I wish to live One of simplicity And endurance For I am only a human I run on guilt and misery
