Yellow Eyes

Yellow Eyes There is a coal black cat With moon yellow eyes That lays about my door At first I thought A country stray Surly nothing more… This coal black cat With moon yellow eyes That lays about my door. At first he stayed At great arms length And never ventured near Pretending not To give a care, Pretending not to fear. Then, not quite the stray That I first thought That lays about my door. I gave him food And ice cold milk, What cat Could ask for more. Our eyes would meet And stubborn both Neither scarcely dared To blink, And then one day I swear it’s true That coal black cat With moon yellow eyes, Gave me back a wink! Now quite the pest That cat has grown, And he seldom Stray’s from home sweet home. And his favorite place Is the carpet where, This coal black cat With moon yellow eyes, Lay’s about my door.
