Oreo's Leo
Oreo had babies in spare bedroom,
A stray that Michelle fed at the curb.
Did not disturb while gave birth.
Her girth giving way to kittens,
So small, cleaned them up and all.
We just watched a miracle at bay,
Didn't dare say one single word.
Leo was the only black and white
Stripe. Oreo black, some white.
Such gentle souls both of them.
Leo lived a long time in house,
Then moved to Michelle's house.
Now they're gone. God rest their
Blessed souls. I loved those cats.
