Once Had A Cat Whose Name Was

Once had a cat Whose Name Was
By
J.A. Long
I once had a cat named Gingerbread
He never saw red
Until his final days
I once had a cat named Sue
I regrated my mistake
But he never said boo

I once had a cat whose name Buck
He used to think he was a watch dog
But never got mistaken for a duck
Until the day he was sadly lost

I once had a cat whose name was Meg
She never even tried to beg
Once had a cat named Alex
Someone might have thought
He created the phone

Once had a cat named Chico
He had a temper 
But he was quick to repent 

Even though we did not have a tent
I once had a cat named Vaness
She was so sweet that she 
Could have been a Contessa
Once had a cat named Melissa
She was a little a playful
And she always wore a tux

Once had a cat named Carly
She did not like barley 
But she did occasionally sing
Even on weekends

I once had a cat named Renee
She was sweet and vocal
Thank God she was not a Wren
She gave me some advice before passing away
Oh, I miss them all!
