Gemini Cat

 

Gemini Cat

 

I needed another little soul

To fill this loving grieving hole.

It wasn't long, October twenty one

When she left us in the midnight sun.

 

Quite by accident, I tracked him down

So different and from a different town,

Totally opposite from what I knew

And love that grew out of the blue.

 

I drove a little further south,

Not to the beach but to a house.

I saw your photo, you looked so bright

And wondered if the time was right? 

 

You looked so sweet on the net,

Didn't think, my mind was set!

Had a feeling of no regret and

A loving face I could not forget!

 

A lovely male, the colour black;

Would you find the comfort on my lap?

You'd miss your siblings that was true

And hoped to soften the blow for you.

 

Bought you home, your name a Tom

Know who you are and here you're from

A lively spirit who loves to play,

A domestic type to love more each day.

 

It wasn't long before your injections

To offer you a little more protection

To keep you healthy from some germs

Give you tablets to stop the worms!

 

It really was quite a revelation

That now they'd be no castration!

Now I know you are a female!

With your pretty looks and fluffy tail.

 

Your eyes that melt a thousand hearts,

This feeling happened from the start.

You're already loved you pretty girl

Sit on my lap and don't uncurl.

 

For Luna
