This Old Cat The sun spilled through an open door like incandescent haze A cat stretched smugly on the floor basking in its rays Beside him stood a silver dish ...............filled to the brim with imported smoked fish A canopy bed on which to snooze and toy after toy from which to choose Life wasn't gentle, nor was it kind until the woman set out to find an old forlorn, forsaken street-cat from which to make an aristocrat So now he dined royally on imported smoked fish and snoozed under a canopy near an ornate silver dish But there weren't many days left to enjoy this happy ride because this old cat didn't have time on his side The sun spilled through an open door like incandescent haze A cat breathed his last breath while basking in its rays It's sad that for all of his many years this old cat lived a life filled with fears Wondering from where his next meal would come dodging from danger and forever on the run The sun spilled through an open door like incandescent haze a tear trickled down her face as he lied lifeless in its rays

HANDSOME I haven't forgotten you, how could I ever? God had his reason though I'll never understand and through it all I tried to be close at hand I thought you would make it you seemed so brave yet over and over I envisioned a grave Weeks of illness you endured then came December with her swift, quiet sword Two full years have come to pass and last night as I peered into the looking glass I saw your face, flickering in mine I heard you say "I'm at peace, valentine" I haven't forgotten you, how could I ever?

THE ILLUSION Cats, cats, everywhere on the bed and on the chair on the desk and in the den well above the number ten Sitting on a dressing table eyeing up the TV cable cats, cats, everywhere lurking on the chiffonier eyeing up the chandelier chewing on an antique chair having fun without a care Making mischief by the minute clawing a bag and all that's in it cats, cats, everywhere curious and playful without a care Then all at once I realize... t'was only the mirror playing tricks upon my eyes making double - all that trouble causing confusion by orchestrating an illusion cats, cats, everywhere how I wish that mirrors didn't lie
