Do You Love A Kitty

A second-order filk by Thorin N. Tatge

(To “Do You Love An Apple/IBM” by Laramie Sasseville [to “Do You Love An Apple” by Rufus Wainwright])

CHORUS:

Do you love a kitty? That lies on your lap?

Do you love a kitty or give him a thwap?

Well, I’ll pet him, though I could uproot him,

I'll rub his tummy whenever I can!

He sits on my trousers, he never gets up

He claws at my legs when I reach for my cup

Still I love him, though I could upset him,

I’ll scratch his forehead as long as I can!

CHORUS

Before the kitty, I’d play on me drum,

Now he just bats at me sticks and me thumb!

Still I love him, though I could outplay him,

I'll sit and tease him however I can!

CHORUS

Before the kitty, I'd hum and I'd sing,

Now I just sneeze over everything.

Still I love him, though I am allergic

I'll wash my hands of him as soon as I can!

CHORUS
