Question: Are you aware that many of us here!.!.!.own cats!?
Casey

My noteworthy gentleman of delight!.
Spring in his step and flight!.
Soft petals under his silk clad feet!.
Fur velvets fluttering as they sweep!.
Over waving grass and flowers forlorn!.
Which he disdains as the hunting horn…
Rumbles in his throat!.

He was lost!-not a shade of doubt of that;
For he never barked at a slinking cat,
But stood in the square where the wind blew raw
With a drooping ear and a trembling paw
And a mournful look in his pleading eye
And a plaintive sniff at the passer-by
That begged as plain as a tongue could sue,
"O Mister! please may I follow you!?"

A lorn wee waif of a tawny brown
Adrift in the roar of a heedless town!.
Oh, the saddest of sights in a world of sin
Is a little lost pup with his tail tucked in!
He won my heart, for I set great store,
on my own Red Beaut, who is here no more!.
So I whistled clear, and he trotted up,
and who so glad, as that small lost pup!.

Now he shares my board and he owns my bed,
And he fairly shouts when he hears my tread;
Then, if things go wrong, as they sometimes do,
and the world is cold, and I'm feeling blue
He asserts his right to assuage my woes
With a warm, red tongue and a nice, cold nose
And a silky head on my arm or knee
And a paw as soft as a paw can be!.

When we rove the woods for a league about
He's as full of pranks as a school let out;
For he romps and frisks like a three months' colt,
And he runs me down like a thunderbolt!.
Oh, the blithest of sights in the world so fair
Is a gay little pup with his tail in the air! Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've had my share of pets over the years
When they departed this earth, I was left in tears!.
Don't think this old broken heart,could go through it again
Thanks for the memories-- now is now, then was then!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
