Ebony Webboney My Little Princess

The house suddenly seems so very empty I miss you so much my little darling Princess Ebony Webbony my little independent girl Thank you for being part of my life for so long I will admit it was not that we were always connected You were far too independent for all the cuddly stuff Except, of course that is when you wants something Then I became the sun, the moon, and the stars Once your demands were satisfied, off you would flit But you were always there, my little outdoor girl Then when of course you did come into the house It was like some Royal visit from the Queen Up on the cabinet you’d sit by the kitchen door Silently demanding, telling me it was supper time For breakfast, only outdoors never never indoors Different places with different change of mood “No no, I do not want to eat here, no,no, NO!” “Put it where I want it, or I will not eat at all!” “I do not give a damn about the crows, put it there!” “No I hate the Vets, no I hate cars, no, no, No!” “No, no NO! I do not want my picture taken, Go away, this is my private place, please go away” “No, no, NO! Do not cuddle me I am not in the mood” Okay so now is the time so make sure you do it right” “Steuth , enough of this cuddle stuff, I’m out of here!” For years you and Gingerwhinger did not speak Then suddenly you became the greatest of pals Inseparable you both became, Oh he misses you so So do I my little precious Princess, Oh so do I. Something has gone out of our lives and it is you My Ebony Webbony, thank you for nineteen precious years! © Copyright Elizabeth Waterhouse 2012
