Analysis of Snoop



Soft and silky, ball of fluff
Always getting into my stuff
Climbing in my lap to be rubbed
Or walking by just to be snubbed
Your purr is so soft, you make no noise
You're one of my playful boys
Sleeping half the day away
My bundle of white and grey
Eyes of green, they shine so bright
Even in the middle of the night
Sitting by the door, in the morning sun
You are one of my four-legged sons
Meowing and calling for me to hear
You always know when to come cheer
Up on the keyboard you do climb
Oh you loving cat of mine.
Forever you'll always be
A loving friend to me.
