Boris the Cat

Two weeks of sun at Xmas and new year
Palm Oasis in our nineteenth year
Always a joy around the pool we sat
Never did we think to make a friend
Called Boris the cat

The old chap was friendly and his nose had seen many battles
We called him Boris as he resembled our Prime Minister
His white fur also a mess but not so sinister

He would take his afternoon nap
Curled up on Rita's lap
Both seemed to enjoy each others friendship
Laying in the sun
Now both new friends sharing fun

Two weeks flew by lazy by the pool
But it was now over and time to go
We love you Boris and see you again in two years
You never know

G'day William … nothing better than to make a friend when you're on holidays. It appears that Boris was thinking the same thing too - thanks William - Lindsay
