Nine Lives

Perhaps you were too, when just a lad. One thing told about cats made me glad. When I learned the truth, I was sad. We did see road kill, but seldom cats. Whenever we would see a dead cat, We would say, "That must be number nine". "Could we imitate cats and live long?" We did not argue with the grownups, But we doubted such longevity. 050921cjPSCtest, A Time For Nine, Michelle Faulkner PS Syllable Counter; 9 Lines, 9 syllables p/Line, Word nine in Title
