What's Goin On.....

 

 

marmalade boy has attitude

he knows he is beautiful

and knows we adore him

he likes fresh prawns  salmon

and pilchards 

being groomed with a soft brush

purrs like an engine 

is extremely affectionate

is bilingual 

loves books (lying on them)

is very protective

alerted us to a burglar

breaking in

and a python in the roof

a brave little puss indeed

he can never be replaced

he gave our life a dimension

that could never have been attained

without him

it was a pleasure to spoil him rotten

he gave so much in return

God given he was

always remembered 

never forgotten

 WHAT"S GOIN ON.....RAINING CATS and DOGS

 it's still raining

cats and dogs here in sydney

been going on

for the whole year

still i suppose it's better

than raining men

(i think:) ? ? ?

  1. What a lovely marmalade boy. I can see his personality in his face. I love the poem - and the poster of house rules! Smiles.

    is very protective . . . " What an amazing cat! It's definitely better to rain cats and dogs than men. It's better to have one or two in mutual adoration.

  4. Your poem resonates with a fellow cat lover. Marmalade is a handsome boy, Rall.
