Ode to a Cat
Beau June 26th, 2008
We found you in a pile of unwanted kittens,
And brought two of you to our home.
You brought us love and joy,
And a bundle of cat energy that
Wanted as much to explore as
To be cuddled in a lap.
You were spirited and fun,
With a personality so full of life.
Sometimes you seemed more like a dog.
And you didn’t hunt very well,
But you jumped at birds in a half-hearted manner,
Flicking your tail,
As if to show that, Indeed! You were a Cat.
Yet to a boy you brought so much more;
A big fuzzy kitty that he could
Drape over his shoulders,
To carry and hug and play with.
And you didn’t mind.
He loved you most of all.
Farewell Sparky.
Farewell!
