A Lost

I lost my outside cat tonight
a dear to me I am drenched in tears
as I will miss the company
of rubs  and what not
looking for a meal and share of fleas

my heart broken again
all old lady told me she died up the street
and if tomorrow she reappears I will open my door
but I removed the bowls to feed 
her a year or two
building an Igloo for her in winter

she sings a tune of the sorrow
who would great me  in the morning
crossing Lafayette avenue to take  a stroll
ears a plenty she made me  blue
to buy a can or two

Sad to lose a pet..They become a family member and tied to our heart..Thanks for stopping by..The fire department and the law enforcement can leave a mess in one's home..Here when my husband worked for the fire department they were trained to clean up the water,etc that they put down but if they have to tear up a roof to get to the fire then that is up to the insurance company and the homeowner to repair..Enjoyed reading your work..Sara
