Do not place me into a little box
shutting the lid with me locked tight inside.
For I will escape from it like an artful fox
bursting out into the world vast and wide

Do not hem me in or try to confine
me to petty ideas of time and space.
For if you do I'll jump across the line
and run away to find a freer place.

'Do not do this and do not do that.'
Set me free so I can now do my thing.
Why don't you stop being a 'Bossy cat? '
and let my spirit just dance and sing.
