FUNNY LITTLE VALENTINE
“There are all sorts of things about your cat you will never, As long as you live, forget. Not the least of these is the first sight of him or her.” Cleveland Amory I often wonder if it’s fate, or just sheer luck Whenever I encounter all the creatures that I do I happened upon this tiny furry face in an old wall Looking so very hungry, so very lonely, and so blue She was living under a factory loading dock Right next to an old tangled stretch of wood And when I heard the coyotes howling nearby I knew that this little one’s future was not good So I started visiting her every chance that I had And I always brought her a little something to eat She was only about six months old, and so very alone Her being able to survive out on her own was quite a feat She eventually began recognizing me from quite a distance And that cute little face of hers, would now quickly peek out I was determined to get her out of her lonely hole in the wall I knew she longed to live a much better life, without a doubt It took quite some time, before I earned her complete trust But when I did, I immediately whisked her away to the vet Vaccinations, parasite removal, and spaying, for this little one In all honesty, I’ve never met a homeless waif I haven’t liked yet And when I very recently brought this furry little orphaned feline home My wife immediately noticed a huge wondrous heart shape on her side So now, we both smiled, laughed like children, and proclaimed in unison “I really think we should name this precious little furball, Little Valentine!” And so now we have, And she truly is precious, And well worth saving, From an extremely lonely, And probably very short-lived, Orphaned life, out on her own. And, of course, as they usually do, Almost immediately upon her arrival, Most of our other once homeless critters, Very compassionately, welcomed her home. Now, she’s our very sweet and very safe, new little Valentine, And to our humble home, she’s brought another ray of sunshine. ©2008, Mr. Ed If you'd like to write a comment to Ed's poem, please go to his Author's Den website.
