It Has Been Years Since Tabby Was Gone

It has been years since Tabby was gone,
he disappeared fourteen years ago,
during the last hurricane which scared him,
all I can remember was his meow of grim.

By the time we returned to the soaked house,
there was no sign of our beloved kitty,
we looked everywhere including the pool,
saw floating cans of tuna which made him drool.

Over time we adopted more kittys to fill the void,
always looking over our shoulders for Tabby,
we were resolved he was gone forevermore,
one day we received a call we could not ignore.

A person from an animal shelter called,
she wanted to know if Tabby was ours,
his computer chip was his saving grace,
after fourteen years we finally saw his face.
