Note: This can be sung to "Beautiful Dreamer". I didn't write "Beautiful Dreamer", but then I've been filking things forever and this must count as a filk - I'm not breaking any copyrights! YAY!
Innocent kitten,
Listen to me...
I've lived my whole life
In deep misery.
I left the tribe
When I was young
And by a thin thread
From then I was hung.
I couldn't find food -
By cash or crook -
But soon found to live
From one Casting's look.
They treated me well;
Much like a Queen.
Performing was my
One passion and dream.
Still unforgotten
Was my old tribe -
To join them once more
I did not proscribe.
Many years passed by,
Beauty did fade.
Old and abandoned,
I went to seek aid.
The Junkyard held then
No sanction for me;
All through the Ball I
Did send out a plea.
Rejected, damned, and
Cursed at was I
For trying to see
How far I could fly.
So listen, sweet kitten,
Know now the truth:
The Jellicles now are
Unkind and uncouth.
Don't join a side when
The fighting's begun -
Strays can be evil
But Munku will shun.
Now on my deathbed,
Waiting for sleep,
I've told you my tale,
Learn - and don't weep.
