Smokey the Curious Cat

Through all his years he was such fun, Companion, friend and more; Adventure was his middle name, And I was never bored. As long as Smokey was around, He'd brighten up my day. He'd snuggle, cuddle, kiss and swat, And say,"Come on, let's play." I had some turtles in a bowl, As cute as they could be. They disappeared while I was out, Found under the settee. I had my suspicions, About how they got there; So I watched my little buddy, But he never moved a hair. Then one day he strolled by me, With something in his mouth. I followed him to the living room. He crawled beneath the couch. He placed a turtle on the floor, And gently lay beside it. Just watching it so patiently, Not hurting it a bit. Slowly it stuck out it's head, Then it began to move. Curiously he watched it go, Thought Smokey, "He's got groove." "I like this tiny little guy. I wonder what it is." I reached in and picked it up, "Busted, here's the miz." "These guys will die without their bowl. Smokey don't do that." But I still love you best you know. You are the best of cats."
