Poor kitty lacked in vigor
Dead body stiff with rigor
Her mouth was open wide
The tongue hung out the side
Blank eyes in open stare
No life was seen in there
Her fur looked weatherbeaten
Cat food remained uneaten
Wrapped her in a towel
Tail stuck out like a dowel
Owners shed a tear
I'll find a new career!

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen
