When Darryl woke from righteous rest
he figured he had done his best
creating creatures great and small
and even throw-rugs in the hall.
The universe to him had spark
his eyes reflected in the dark
and all his grass grew by the door
as he made bag-beds on the floor.
Then Darryl watched the pace of man
reflected in his water pan
as he kept tabs with cat-claw grace
upon his back with black shoe lace.
In the beginning Darryl was
so now the earth is all a-buzz
and with his face pressed on the screen
the world a-purrs to him quite keen.
By his meow he holds what is
among this very land of his
littered in light and kitty feats
forevermore--just give him treats.
For Darryl is the one on high
who spoke in time and made the sky.
He even thinks: “Nine lives to keep:”
Now Darryl just goes back to sleep.
