There is a boy playing the flute

Melodious as it seems

Caught the attention of a nosy Cat

The Cat looks as he playing the flute

Wishing how it can be the flute

The Cat said: ‘Oh…how I wish I’m the flute, being held and play all along’

The cat wagging its tail to get attention

But the Boy is playing with passion.

The Cat starts meowing with the tune

But the Boy just ignore the Cat

So the Cat just stood there and looked at him

Waiting for signs of his knowingness

Unlike the other cats in the street

This cat got its spots on the boy

‘Oh how I wish he’s my master..’

Utter the Cat in the mind

“Someone who will hold and cuddle me

just like my mom use to do…”

Suddenly…

The boy realized the Cat

Is watching him…

He smiles at the Cat and playing another tune
