Sonia Walker Poet Rhyme

The Lady Down the Lane

The lady down the lane,
was a grandmotherly type,
whenever we walked by 
she would always wave and smile,
an owner of at least ten cats
each roamed the neighborhood,
appearing at our doors and mewing, 
because of them the mice were fewing.

One day the lady down the lane 
no longer smiled and waved at us,
her rocking chair sat empty on her porch, 
a family member did a welfare check
and found that the lady died in her sleep, 
as she was counting cats and sheep.

Sandra Adams March 21, 2020 at 7:36 AM so many of these people alone, it's a shame when they pass and it takes a welfare check to find them... good write! Sonia Walker March 21, 2020 at 10:01 AM Sandra, your words are so true. Thank you for commenting. ~ Sonia
