Calli the drunken zombie cub
can often be found in the pub
for this is why
she's so often high
and passed out drunk in the tub!
She has a smile that is worthwhile.
A heart of gold
that never grew cold
an outstretched hand to uplift
to anyone who has fallen adrift
a love for our lord
she gave hope to the poor
to him now she does soar
I will miss you forever more
how I wish you could stay
we will meet again one day
In the house of our King
together again we will sing
so fly, Calli fly
to your home in the sky
as I bid you my heartfelt goodbye
In my heart you will remain
til we're together again.
The young woman's awake,
still sleep in her eyes.
For she was awoken,
at quarter to five.
This poem made possible,
by Calli's shrill cries.
Though this utter lack of sleep,
might lead to her demise.
~This poem is dedicated,
to my 8 week old kitten Calli.
I am surely not thanking her
for it ----- not yet anyways.
