Sheri Evans Poet Rhyme

She Named Him Lucky

As I was driving home one day
    a car pulled out quite quick.
Realizing what they'd done
    I instantly was sick.
Where they had stopped, a cardboard box
    did suddenly appear,
And sticking out from over top
    a tiny orange ear.
I parked the car and crossed the street
    peeking in to see,
A little pair of kitten eyes
    staring back at me.
Then in my arms while driving home
    he made a purring sound,
As if somehow he understood
    he now was homeward bound.
When we arrived and went inside
    my mom gave me a look,
Proclaimed that Lucky be his name
    and that was all it took.
