about kitties that starts "Now I lay me down to sleep...." I saw it in a book of poems for kitties but I don't know where I put it. I have a picture of my cat just right before she sharted to lick her paw and it looks like she's praying. I am doing her scrapbook and want to put this poem next to this picture. Can anyone help?

Here is another version of this poem:



Kitty Poem


Now I lay me down to sleep,

The king-size bed is soft and deep..

I sleep right in the center groove

My human cannot hardly move!

I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight

And here is where I pass the night

No one disturbs me or dares intrude

Till morning comes and "I want food!"

I sneak up slowly to begin

my nibbles on my human's chin.

She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth-

And my claws I will unsheathe

For the morning here and it's time to play

always seem to get my way.

So thank you Lord for giving me

This human person that I see.

The one who hugs me and holds me tight

And sacrifices her bed at night!



John
