Boris the Cat

Boris is my cat and he’s so very soppy
He likes his tummy tickled and is never stroppy

He’s friendly and gentle and follows me around
Always by my side is where he will be found

With his long white whiskers he’s a handsome chap
I wonder what he’s thinking as he lies in my lap

He’s so very clever, he’s always been that way
I really think he understands every word I say

Sometimes late at night he goes completely daft
Watching him chase his toys, you really have to laugh

Boris is not just my cat, he's a family member too
So Boris, for completing my happy home – thank you!
