Oreo

I once had a fat cat named Oreo,
Oh what a fat cat was he!
All he did was eat and sleep,
He was never, ever frisky.

It was so different when he was a kitten,
Oh! THen I was so smitten!
He'd play all day and hardly sleep,
Oh, those were the days I wish I could
keep.

Wishful thinking won't get me far,
nor will it do anything more.
I will just have to face the truthful
fact: Oreo's not a kitten anymore.
