The Cat On The Road

Eileen Clark

It seems I have been dumped off in the middle of the night
Alone on this road I'm wondering what will be my plight
Could it have been that I scratch up the stair railing
I noticed lately the misters affection for me was failing
 
Did I get too much hair on the misters black suit
Guess I was wrong in believing he thought I was cute
Maybe it was all the knitting I did on her bedspread
I'll stop knitting and come winter my fur won't shed
 
In the darkest of nights I see a car slowing down
Please let it be a nice human from the nearby town
Being scooped up gently into somebody's arms
I hear them say softly, I mean to do you no harm
I'm taking you home to my family on our very big farm

      a really pretty poem enjoyed reading much I have taken in stray animals, homeless animals, cats and dogs and reaped a great reward of affection from them
      keep up good work

        Hi, thanks for commenting on my poem. The animals we rescue often give more pleasure back to us.
