I will be your friend
Will you be mine?
Will you be gentle,
Will you be kind?
Will you treat me as
You wish to be treated
Anything less, would be
Self, defeated
game of groans
hip hip hooray
black appreciation
day
we purr
we climb
we inspire rhyme
we are the last to
be chosen
at shelters,
by superstitions etc
are futures are frozen
please remember we
are kittys too
and will love you
the way ALL kittys do
Is my nose a kissing magnet
Or a deadly weapon
Quite a beakysnoot
I always schlepping
A little in the middle
Nose is both of the above
You bet
Caveat before kissing
You never know what
You gonna get
We build a life together
Sometimes it is hard
But together we
Are forever
That is how we
Play the cards
As the relentless forward
Overtakes
Healthy choices
Or big mistakes
The little ruffles
And flaws we see
Are not the essential
Part of we
Youth in its myriad of minutiae. Each moment a momentous lifetime, stolen by time. Never to be returned.
