Everything is possible if I had opposable thumbs
I could open up cans and clear away crumbs
I would clean my own tray and remove recycled waste
What am I meowing, not so much haste
If I did everything Mrs. Human would despair
She would no longer be needed, and I must be fair
Without her life’s work in caring for me
She would feel most unwanted, with a life without glee
She gives me to eat and attends to my need
I should let her do more, I am sure she will plea
Her life would be empty if I did it myself
I am sure she would suffer and fall into bad health
So forget the whole thing, keep my paws as they are
Who needs opposable thumbs, humans are better by far
She would feel so useless, with no purpose and all that
There is only one thing she needs, and that is a cat
I’m sure Spirit the Cat would concur! ❤

Tabby, you are absolutely right! Mrs. Human would be lonely and sad without you to care for. You don’t need any stinking opposable thumbs. Mrs. Human has two and that’s more than enough!

Quite right. She would be so sad if she couldn’t use her opposable thumbs for me. Her life would no longer have a meaning. I like to be surrounded by happy humans.

Tabby–you are amazing. I do believe this is your best poetry yet. I hope Mrs Human realizes what a gift you are in her life.

I have to remind Mrs. Human constantly what an enrichment I am to her life. I have a natural talent for writing poetry which has unfortunately not yet been discovered for a Pulitzerprize
