I'm Being Followed By A Sky-Ku
Inspired by the poem by Murray Lachlan-Young, A Cat That Stalks Me For Treats And the Current Vocal Challenge

I'm being followed
I'm being followed
I'm being followed by a Sky-Ku
It sits on my windowsill and looks at me through my window
I don't know what it wants. When I go out at night there is a yellow glow ten yards behind me and when I look I see glowing green eyes.
When I meet people in cafés it sits with its nose pressed against the window. When I point it out to my friends they tell me there's nothing there, but I can see it.
When I go into the supermarket, even during the day, the Sky-Ku stalks me. It will not leave me alone.
It looks kind of cute but if I turn towards it or try to give it some treats, it disappears and the treats are left untouched.
When I wake up the Sky-Ku is sat on my windowsill.
I don't know what it wants
I'm being followed by a Sky-Ku, and it won't leave me alone.
It's not a problem, it's just always there, and it seems I am the only one who can see the creature.
I think I have been adopted by it.
So now everywhere I go
I'm being followed
I'm being followed
I'm being followed by a Sky-Ku
