On hearing of the death of sister’s pet cat br The first thought that came to my mind br Was that a friend like him I never shall find br So loving, so genuine, so kind br His affection overwhelming br His love unconditional br Had to be shared with all and sundry br He did not care br Whether you liked it or not br He would give you a magnanimous slice br He would nudge you and rub you br And curl up on your lap br And all he expected br Was an acknowledging pat br The house is so empty after his death br We wish oh we wish he never had leftbr br leonard daranjobr br
