Nico the Cat

I am very busy.

Nico Di Angelo, the Cat

There is a fiend in my home named Nico di Angelo

He is a rather bipolar mackerel tabby cat

In the mornings when I awake he calls for my love

(I don’t know what to do with him)

I wish that he could understand

That I am very busy.

And yet when he is busy

That devilish Nico

Still does not understand

That he himself as my beloved cat

My world does not revolve around him

Why must he doubt my love?

I know somewhere inside he feels the emotion called love

Even as I grow even more busy

Somewhere deep inside him

My annoyingly loveable Nico

My treasured cat

He understands.

And due to the fact I believe he understands

The slave I am to love

For the wicked cat

The thoughts I had buzzing

About my adorable Nico

Have stopped as I stare down at him.

And as I stare down at him,

I suddenly understand

Why my Nico

The one everyone knows I love

He doesn’t care about me being busy

For he knows he isn’t just a cat.

He is The Cat

The one who rules this home; him

The one who is never busy

The one who no matter what never understands

He doesn’t care about love

All he cares about is he himself, Nico di Angelo.
