This is the time of year
for a cat to sit back and take stock of what he really needs in life.

when the world is cold and icy, and the ground all covered with snow,


Sure warm weather would be nice,
with room to roam and a grassy field filled with mice.
But maybe that's too much to ask for.
Maybe it's best to make do with what one has.

Maybe all a cat needs, after all, is just one haybale
on which to spend his days.
