Notes About The Poem

This one's for Antony, my best kitty ever, hands down.

Love Poem To A Cat

Love Poem to a Cat

Your simplicity is Absolute.
As such, a Perfection of your kind.
Eat, Sleep, Cuddle With The Giants, Get The Pets
Repeat.
Your days a monochrome monotony
Eternal yet ephemeral
You can be a nuisance
But never trouble

     (unlike your sister, who ran off because Mom wouldn't share her ice cream)

The Outside World is not for you,
Dear Boy.
It would chew you up and spit you out;
We can't have that.

So stay in with us as we retire
Live out your hopefully longish perfect cat life
Safe in its comfortable nonexcitement

When you are gone
You shall leave
A furry little hole in my heart

So sleep well,
My dear little Bubbula.
Sleep well.
