The Old Lady's Pet
A black cat with long hairy curved tail,
an old lady brought me to her home,
not a long time ago though, instantly
overwhelmed me by her love and care.
She pampered me as if I was her child,
wanted me around her all the time,
didn’t even mind if I wetted the sofa,
I was too lazy to go to the assigned place.
The lady hardly went out of the house,
didn’t allow me to step outside for a while,
under her protective surveillance
I became totally homebound.
One day when I was sitting by the window,
I saw a lovely cat pacing in the portico,
charmed by her white silky fur and green eyes
I fell in love at the first sight.
Since then I spent time with her secretly,
allured, I decided to live with her at her place.
So, one evening I left the house forever,
but I’d never forget the old lady and her love.
