Cat Had a Pet

Cat had a pet; Some old dude He met, while on patrol His many backyards A territorial feral; Opportunist: A lap was empty, Well used But warm enough, Some sandwich unfinished Surprise!—It was tuna! (A match seemed Made in heaven) Cat had a pet, Some old dude He met—an opportunist: Quickly he laid claim Though the find sat Quite lame— Unable to speak Yet attentive; Having tasty treats Pocket full unending— How inventive! Quite the incentive, Seemed a match Made in heaven— As seasons passed Their relationship grew Till the old dude due— His chair Now empty; Well, not always… An occasional cat-nap Keeps the heat on… Purring while dreaming His incentive: A warm lap And a pocket full of treats Surely a match To be continued In heaven—
