Poem
My cherished tomcat went missing I sat at home in floods of tears He’d been my devoted companion I’d had him for so many long years So I put up some missing cat posters Around the village and in the papers Has anyone seen my lost pussy… I was shocked to learn of his capers! My tomcat was known to be randy Some weeks he would not return He was seen with that queen named Sandy Her advances my Tom would not spurn I got phone calls from various places To say Tom had been living with them He had his paws firmly under the table Grr he’s like so many unfaithful men My Tom had a string of cat lovers Or are they merely a lover of cats Cos he loves to have his tummy tickled He had boltholes in houses and flats I discovered that he was a father Many kittens had my pussy sired with Topsy and Fluffy and Tiddles Oh my pussy these kitties desired I’ve given up hope of my Tom returning and I’ve got rid of his blue feeding dish He’s unfaithful and he no longer loves me but you’re welcome to feed him some fish If by chance my Tom deems to pay me a visit By scouring high fences and walls He’s off to the vet’s in a cat carrier case Cos he’s going to be losing his balls! Inspired by the title of the ‘Missing Tom’ Blog by Becca Teagan 07-25-17
