Poem Title:
Poem
They say, just there beyond the valley, that there lived inside a house a little cat who never went outside to run and play; she chose to spend her time indoors each day. They named her Hairless Cat. Her owners called her that because their little pet was bald. She was a different breed of cat, and true, her skin was bare- on Hairless no fur grew. Some days a while back, she’d gone outside but never stayed out long, came in to hide; the kitties tried ignoring her, and so would not befriend her- would not say hello. Now, Hairless Cat, aware that she was shy and different from others that passed by, began to think of special ways to cope and make them friendlier- so there was hope. She thought and thought, whatever she could do, to let them know beneath her bare-skin view, there lives a nice, smart kitten hoping that she could be friends with each and every cat. That night it came to her within a dream; come morning, she began to smile and beam! Her owners left the door somewhat ajar when they left home for shopping in their car. Her bowl of yummy dry food in the room was filled up to the top, and very soon, she carried dry food nibbles, one by one, out through the door onto the porch till done. She stood beside her feast, began to eat, and soon the cats came by, did not retreat- but closer to the porch they came to see that Hairless Cat had planned a cat party. They came to share the feast each, one by one, and Hairless Cat was happy they had come! Her lonely days were over, she had won, and every day, from then, with friends had fun. "The moral of this story is: if you are lonely, and you need a friend or two, you must reach out to them and make them see what a good friend to them you want to be."
