Hello everyone, here is some bad Joni parody in honor of our beloved 16-pound cat, Amber (who knows she deserves all possible adulation)
fat cat of heart and mind (for Amber from one of her devoted "owners") I am a fat cat of heart and mind with time on my paws no work to do sometimes you act as though you own me but we both know who really owns who you think you're in control because you make the money but I notice that you have to go out and work all day while I lie serenely on the sofa and watch the little birdies outside play I know you like to think I love you so if you're really nice, I'll let you pet me just a bit but you better not bring out that comb and try to groom me or you know I'm really going to have a fit you have to feed me lots of kibble and I better get it too, just as soon as I meow otherwise, I shall stand by the food bowl and glare at you and induce guilt in every way that I know how all this talk about ownership now must be your way of pretending you're in control but it's all empty words who goes to work? who brings the kibble? who sleeps all day? who really has the life of Riley here? you criticize and you flatter I ignore the criticism because it simply does not matter the flattery I believe Because I know it's true indeed you know the times you impress me the most are the times when you recognize that truth when you recognize that truth.
