Sometimes I wish you were finally gone

after years of disobeying our orders

not coming home when you were supposed to

sticking your nose up at your dinner

not listening to our guidance

running off at all hours of the night

lolling around on the couch

you had no ambition or drive

you expected us to wait on you hand and foot

worst of all, you had no gratitude

always with that sassy streak

independent as hell

not caring whether we lived or died

we your loving parents

willing to put up with you despite your ways

because we loved you

but now the truth comes out

you were fooling around with that guy next door

a very persistent fellow who seemed enamored with you

who constantly followed you around

but who had an ulterior motive

he got you in trouble

so now you come back home

and act like nothing happened

still unrepentant

still as defiant as ever

only now there are 4 more just like you

white with black spots

damn cat!
