Time for Bed
Virginia Salter

It’s time to go to bed
the cat is pleading
Her eyes are big and sad
my heart is bleeding

She plies me with her writhing
around and through my legs
she climbs half up my frame
her mewing cries to beg

Then taps me on the shoulder
with four nails extended
Down again to move
to grab my leg two-handed

Pacing to and fro
forward and aft
So sadly she does go
surely thinks I’m daft

To spend so much time
in front of this keyboard
Typing forms of poesy
‘bout kitties and the Lord.

VAS,
A very pleasant read. My cat used to rub his face against mine when I went to sleep.

This is sweet...and my dog LEANS on me when she wants to get my attention. It WORKS...she's one big dog!   Very sweet, Va.!
