I was called on today a service to perform why was I called upon because I am good with animals I'm not proud of what went down today but for months stray cats have infested where I live under the houses under cars stirring up Zoe and Rustee the landlord's Dachshund sigh . . . I knew where they liked to hide under the big house I went there sat on a chair in the patio called, kitty, kitty, kitty hoping the large yellow cat would emerge it being the biggest trouble maker it stalked Zoe I called and called and I called sure enough I saw yellow fur peeking from under the house but it wasn't the big cat this one was half cat, half kitten slowly, but surely it inched from under the house I kept calling, kitty, kitty, kitty it kept coming soon it was between my legs rubbing on them and purring I picked it up it needed food but I was on a mission as I stroked the kitty it purred so loud I'm sure I'll hear it in my dreams when I was sure it was okay to stand with her I stood and waked to where another man was waiting gave kitty to him they got in a truck and left don't know what happened to the kitty didn't want them to tell me but I do know one thing for a few minutes that kitty loved me ©November 15, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Hopefully some little child will get a new kitty for Christmas. Good one Jerry. ~V~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. |

Jeeze Jerry, I was dreading every line. The more I read, the less I wanted to know... But you did it again with the perfected twist at the end. You left me with a warm smile and a real appreciation for what you did. Nice way to start my day, thank you my friend. lori  |

Wow, this one hits you square in the gut. You did what was best for all parties I'd like to think... but even if it turns out not to be the case, you definitely did what you had to. Three cheers for a happy Zoe. Michael |

This made me cry, Jerry. Sometimes a good poem can do that. Ida |

Oh, Ida, I'm sorry you cried, but your response that it was because of a good poem touched me. Thank you ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
