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
