Little Cat

Silent In a cage, No blanket for a bed The little kitten Laid by its food The lights in the building Lit up above the cage The sweet little Cat Asleep and alone A man quietly came in The poor little kitty woke The man approached and The kitten spoke The man held the kitten And the kitten was happy The man said, I want this One and he waited The people behind the counter After a delay said no The man left broken hearted And the little cat sadly stayed Will that little critter ever Have a happy home Or will it have to sleep forever?
