Basura Cat is jealous of my guitar
She wants to toss it very far
Every time I hold it on my lap
She claims the space to take her nap.

All through the day, she eats and sleeps
Not a word from her, not even a peep
She ignores me until I start to play
Then she demands to have her way.

She sits at my feet most innocently
And acts like she is scratching a family of fleas
Then she reaches up, her paw like a hand
I know it’s my lap, that she demands.

Then suddenly she is pressed against my guitar tight
I try to hold them both, with all of my might
But strings won’t vibrate, not enough room for the two
So, I am left with nothing else to do.

With a sigh, I stop practicing and playing
Because upon my lap, she is laying
It’s the most wonderful problem, to have you see
My Basura Cat, wanting to be loved by me.
