Feline Summer Hunt By Autumn My summer duty, to protect my yard, Daddy get the rope, hurry up you dope, Satisfaction, and a bug, my reward. Slink down low, a circumspect peek, Around the shed, now keep your head, First we'll do a yard critique. The place where mommy feeds the birds, Daddy not so close! The birds will adios! Wings swirl away, those cowards. I turn my head, the big tree, on the trunk! Two whirley squirrels, doing squirrely whirls! They go around till I get drunk, Now out to where the grass is high, I'll leopard it there, bugs beware! I think I'll eat a Butterfly. Here comes one now, wiggle to set, I leapt so high, I touched the sky! Daddy says I'm Roger Ramjet. My pledge is kept, my face is clean, And now a scratch, and then a nap, In the shadow of the evergreen.
I'll Wait Till Then.
For my Butch
I'll never see your furry face,
Those green eyes shinning up at me.
I have new friends now, they can't replace,
I live my life now brokenly.
"Oh, Mama, please don't be so sad,
You know I tried to live forever.
My love for you is still ironclad,
Had it been my choice, I'd have left you, never."
I want to hear you yell "Mee-oouutt",
And then stand at the door and wait.
I want you to wake me with a pat and a shout,
and sleep with me, my furry bed-mate.
"I'm there, still, in your bed Mama,
I guard you each and every night.
It was never goodby, it was just aloha,
You'll be with me, here, the time is not quite".
I want to say, "give Mama a kiss",
And then feel your little rough tongue.
I miss everything about you, and then there's this,
The strings of my heart are completely unstrung.
"I never really went away,
You'll see me Mama, I'm waiting for you.
A love like ours could never decay,
I just had to bid you and life adieu".
I know you did, my sweet little friend,
And everything that lives must die.
It's a long road now that you must wend,
So I'll try to be brave as I say goodby
"It is a long road, Mama, but I can't go yet,
I've lots of friends and I'm young again.
I'll wait for you, I'll never forget,
If it takes forever, I'll wait till then".
