What Goes Up

Must come down . . .  

     I once had a cat called   L O V E
Love liked to climb real high up;
          Any high   p l a c e   was her perch,
  But she seemed to prefer my  CURTAIN  rods;
       Hours she would   s t a y  like a bird.

     But as, Isaac Newton says,
What goes  UP must come down (right);
          And when    I though all  h o p e  was lost,
  And all coaxing was just pointless;
    With one great  L E A P  Love was down.

                           . . .  this is  L I F E  with a cat
