Pat a Ball

Pat a ball a game 
My cat and I play
With a ping pong ball
This created game
My cat came up with

We are both eager
Being together
Passing our time
Playing pat -the -ball
Passing our time

I roll the ping -pong
Ball towards her
She lays on her side 
Then she pat- the -ball
Watches it comes to me

Sometimes the ball rolls 
Underneath the couch
I bend down towards
For the ball that rolled
Reaching pushing ball

I push the ball to her
We play for hours
Each getting tired 
I give her a treat 
then we go to bed

What a lovely poem Darlene. Playing and bonding with our fur babies is always fun and an honour. They always lifted up my spirit when I had cats. Emilia : )
