i am a cat too

what's with the catnip?
i just don't get it.
i mean, i get it;
it is offered to me,
but to no effect.

perhaps i'm the type
who gets no reaction.
perhaps i'm too young,
or prone to distraction
from plant interaction
the cat grass i like:
smooth with a scratch
and sweet with a spike.
it tickles my tongue
in sectors far-flung.

and anything green
makes me feel serene
whether indoors or out;
the emerald sheen
is what calm's about.

but what's with the catnip?
i just don't get it.
other cats go wild,
but i, silly child,
don't get it at all.

or do i?
