You kept insisting
I was a dog
absent paws and fur
I went along
One day I awoke
you said, "say moo!"
But all I expressed
Was white man blues
_______
So, bark, baby baby
Moo, darlin' watchout
Meow, mama, mama
Now I'm a snake of love
_______
You kept insisting
That I could trot
A bit in my mouth
You said, "looks hot"
Enrolled me in shows
Saddled and groomed
Took home some trophies
Then your boredom resumed
_______
You insisted I conform To your
world conceived and born
Filled with should's and don't's
That pushed me out the door
Yasaid, I need for you to be
The one to complete me
Please don't make me get upset
If you love me be my pet
_______
One morning in June
I stared confused
Standing in litter
As you enthused
Nice kitty, kitty
go in the box
I did then my world
turned into rocks
That terrarium
turned out to be
The chance to fine-ly
shed skin and be
_______
A cold blooded male
A state of me
Clipped and restricted
And now set free
________
You kept insisting
You kept insisting
You kept insisting
You kept insisting
