OK, in full disclosure, I have never written a children's song before. In fact, I've never written any song or any lyrics that go with music.

On top of that, if I tried out for American Idol , I'd make that highlight reel everyone watches and says "Seriously? Does he not know what he sounds like? And looks like?"

But I knew i was on to something recently when it comes to children's songs. Everyday, I pick up my little girl from daycare and try to make conversation. Sometimes I fail, so i ask her to sing me a song. One time, she asked me to do the singing. The good news, she wouldn't know a horrid voice if i hid it in her ice cream. So i started belting out (loudly and obnoxiously) the first thing that came into my head. And, for no good reason whatsoever, it was about a kitty cat. And slowly through our 20 minute car ride, that morphed into a 'chorus'.

Day after day she said to me, "Daddy, sing the kitty cat song!" And every day I had to make up lyrics. So I decided to use my poetry website in an expanded capacity and add this children's song called "Oh Where's My Kitty Cat?" Hope you like it! One day I'll overcome the Embarrassment and add audio to this - for now, make it your own!

"Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat?"

A Children's Song

Oh Where's my kitty cat,
Where's my kitty-kitty cat,
Oh, Where's my kitty cat
at?

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

I swore that she was right
beside me,
Furry tail grazed my shoe,
But here I am looking
Behind Me,
She Disappeared from my view!

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

Perhaps she ran out the
Back door?
I should check by the treeline,
Man I should learn to
Track Her,
She's always making a beeline!

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

Oh she's not outside and I can't
Even find her in here,
I checked every nook in the
house,
Peeped in the closet and drawer where I keep my swimwear,
Eureka!
I got it!
I'll bet she's chasing a mouse!

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

Oh Where's My Kitty Cat,
Where's My Kitty-Kitty Cat,
Oh, Where's My Kitty Cat
At?

I thought that I would just quit
Searching,
Sit on the couch in defeat,
But then something furry was
Lurking,
My kitty Cat was warming my feet!
I had no idea where she went,
But I guess it really doesn't matter,
All the looking had me spent,
But now I'm enjoying that purr!

Oh There's my kitty cat,
There's my kitty kitty cat,
I know where my kitty cat's
At!

Oh There's My Kitty Cat,
There's My Kitty Kitty Cat,
I Know Where My Kitty Cat's
At!
