Cat Had a Pet(by Joe DiMino)
Cat had a pet;
Some old dude
He met, while on patrol
His many backyards
A territorial feral;
Opportunist:
A lap was empty,
Well used
But warm enough,
Some sandwich unfinished
Surprise!It was tuna!
(A match seemed
Made in heaven)
Cat had a pet,
Some old dude
He metan opportunist:
Quickly he laid claim
Though the find sat
Quite lame
Unable to speak
Yet attentive;
Having tasty treats
Pocket full unending
How inventive!
Quite the incentive,
Seemed a match
Made in heaven
As seasons passed
Their relationship grew
Till the old dude due
His chair
Now empty;
Well, not always
An occasional cat-nap
Keeps the heat on
Purring while dreaming
His incentive:
A warm lap
And a pocket full of treats
Surely a match
To be continued
In heaven
