The Cat On The Road

It seems I have been dumped off in the middle of the night
Alone on this road I\'m wondering what will be my plight
Could it have been that I scratch up the stair railing
I noticed lately the misters affection for me was failing
 
Did I get too much hair on the misters black suit
Guess I was wrong in believing he thought I was cute
Maybe it was all the knitting I did on her bedspread
I\'ll stop knitting and come winter my fur won\'t shed
 
In the darkest of nights I see a car slowing down
Please let it be a nice human from the nearby town
Being scooped up gently into somebody\'s arms
I hear them say softly, I mean to do you no harm
I\'m taking you home to my family on our very big farm
