I live in the town or city
Glossy fur and eyes so bright
Fascinating and ferocious
Silken creature of the night.
Listen to the songs I’m singing
You are hearing nature’s call
Love and passion I am bringing
To the females in my thrall.
Stalking through the streets and highways
Full of grace and feline power
On the rooftops or the byways
Ally of the midnight hour.
See my ladies come to meet me
Condescending, smug and fat
When they leave, they’re purring sweetly
I am Tom. The alley cat.
