a poem for cats

Sir Thomas



Good morning Sir Thomas

You’re looking exceptionally bright

Lazing in the sun by day

Go from room to room at night



You are elegantly handsome

And so immaculately groomed

There’s no need for adornment

Or be expensively perfumed



Serving you breakfast at 9 am

Pull back blinds to let in fresh air

You rag -doll cat with your azure eyes

See you’re already purring there



Widening his bright blue eyes

In an a relaxed cool hard stare

Takes in the crème de la crème

Their’s nothing surprising there



Settling down his eyes all aglow

Like an organ he starts to whirr

Till gradually Sir Thomas becomes

One deep and rumbling purr.



He rubs himself against my leg

When at last from the table above;

A saucer is set down for him -
How he wallows in such love.


Hunching over the saucer’s rim,
His whiskers white as white can be
His tail lies flat and a brown tipped paw
Is tucked under each curve of knee.



His body folds in a relaxing heap -
In the depth of the wide arm-chair;
There he lies in a dreaming sleep

Of eating fish an excellent fare



The time we‘ve left together now

Will be treasured like the past

Sir Thomas will always be there

To give his love till the very last
 
Just found this tucked away under Misc.

Cannot understand why no one has replied to it.
Simply composed, but what a lot of feeling goes with the wording.

I hadn't seen this poem either John. You have purrfectly captured the way life
is for cats, and I hope Sir Thomas is your cat....he's magnificent. If you put this to music Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber would be playing and singing it. It's really appealed to me John.
