THE CAT LOVERS
They’ve missed a feline sound
Since Tippie went into the ground…
At the edge of a field,
She revealed
To any who came around.
–
Since soft fur dried their tears,
They’re beginning to count in years…
It’s hard to explain
Why they don’t obtain
Another to give them cheer.
–
When they had the house, strays,
Would appear on occasional days…
They would take them in
And share within,
Whatever they had to raise.
–
Renting an apartment they find
They’re in a different kind…
Where papers come first
Before hearts burst
With compassion for a feline.
–
It doesn’t do good at all
That they are “behind the ball”…
Financially,
And really not free
To answer a stray cat’s call.
–
They talk and talk and talk,
But he has to balk…
At adopting fur,
They’d be better were
They were balanced in their walk.
–
If push comes to shove,
They could VOLUNTEER to love…
But she can’t get out
Easily and about,
It is so expensive to love!
