Dexter

A**                                             cat
                             hobbled   out of the woods   Looking
                               lost, lonely and lean. With a hitch
                              in his get along, a pitiful sight to be
                       ((   seen. My wife felt sorry for this feline I  ))
                              don't like cats, but I did too, so she 
                                  fed him and fixed him up, and 
                                       after a while he pulled 
                                    through! Then we started
                               seeing dead mice, so before you
                                step you better check! "I guess
                               he's not all bad", I thought (Even
                            though some mice were on our deck!)
                         I asked, "What will you do with him now?"
                    "Let him go", was my best advice. She said, "No,
                 His name is Dexter, He's a serial killer of mice!" Later
                 I petted him, purring at my feet. That he loved it was
                   very clear. When I looked up, what did I see? My
                      wife was grinning ear to ear! I favor dogs to 
                                   cats it's true, but Dexter's
                                             okay in my book Sometimes I even
                                             pet that cat if there's no one there to look!
