The Limerick of the Lazy Lion: An Art of the Nap π€π¦βοΈβ¨
The human says, "Muffin, youβre sleeping too long," π·ββοΈ
But clearly, their logic is terribly wrong.
Iβm not being idle, or wasting my day,
Iβm managing energy, the Sovereign way! ππ¦π
You see, to a cat, a nap is a chore, πΌ
A tactical resting upon the warm floor.
I must find the angle, the light, and the heat,
To ensure that my Melt is 100% complete! π₯β¨
There once was a cat on a rug,
Who was safe and as warm as a bug.
He curled in a ball,
By the big dining wall,
And gave his own shoulder a hug. π€π€πΎ
"Is it lunch yet?" Toby chirps from the tower, πΌ
"Iβve been waiting for snacks for a whole half an hour!"
I look at the kitten, so eager and young,
With his tail in a knot and his bells all a-rung. ππ₯
"Patience, young Watson," I murmur with grace, π΅
"The food will arrive at its own feline pace.
For now, we must focus on deep-tissue rest,
To prepare for the birds and the cardinalβs nest." π¦π‘οΈ
A kitten named Toby, so small,
Tried sleeping on top of the wall.
He gave a big yawn,
In the light of the dawn,
And nearly performed a great fall! π§ββοΈππ
The window is open, the breeze is quite cool, π¬οΈπ«οΈ
The human thinks they are the one here to rule.
But I am the Lion, the King of the Sill,
Master of shadows and master of will. π¦π°β¨
I stretch out my paws until they are thin, π
And let the great photons sink into my skin.
Itβs a chemical process, a solar-sync vibe,
A sacred tradition for all of our tribe! π§ͺπ§¬πΆ
There once was a sunbeam so bright,
That filled the whole room with its light.
I lay in the glow,
With my tummy just so,
And slept through the morning and night. π₯π―π€
So next time you see me, all curled in a heap, π€πΎ
And assume that Iβm nothing but lazy and deep,
Remember the Lion, the Art, and the Nap,
And don't even think about a loud human clap! ππΎπ«
