An Ode to Merry (the Cat)

​

It's my Mer!

Lady fair

Fluffy like a Teddy Bear

Over there

Do I dare

     Tell her of my love and care?

​

Yes.

​

And so I swear:

​

I love the colours in your hair

All expressions that you wear

Through my words I do not err

My heart, tho crack'd, becomes repaired

​

Lovely, sweet, and gentle kitty

Thine very being doth bring this ditty

Couldst thou speak, it would be witty

Thine shape and visage princess pretty

​

You know you're lucky, as a matter of fact

To be one of my belov'ed cats

Your love for me is true and purr-fect

And other truths I have unearth'ed

​

Though different species

It is not strange

By knowing us

We have been changed

​
