My Cat
The cat just left the door open again tonight
I wish they would do what I think is right
Although they may not scratch or even bite
But my feet are cold, frostbite is in sight.
I close the door but she opens it again
The temperature inside starts to descend
She comes to it circle up and get a treat
Or just climb up and take away my seat.
I love her dearly but it's getting cold
That cat just simply put me on hold
It's just the way it is or so I'm told
But it seems my cat is becoming quite bold.
Her name is Nola but I call her Storkula J
When night time comes you better look the other way
She is certain to show you what a good hunter she can be
The carnage is the dead bodies in the backyard you can see.
She is able to catch a bird from out of the air
When you find it in the house it gives you a scare
So you try to save it and let it go out
The cat glares back with what looks like a pout.
When I had my heart attack she sat at my feet
I don’t know if she cared or just wanted a treat
It really doesn’t matter because I survived
The cat made me smile and feel quite alive.
I haven’t seen her in quite some time
She lives with my ex but she treats her fine
I just hope in my heart she does not forget about me
Because she gave me the strength so that I could just be.
