Tell Tail AugustNovember 2017

A button eyed brown-white cuddly ball

of fur on four paws stood on my door

steps,

She’s from the streets, in need of a home

please?

I’m not a cat person you see, we can’t

live together!

It’s been two years and little Le-leo kept

growing...

She peed on my cushions, my precious

Turkish carpet is a baldy piece of

scratchy threads now,

my treasured collection of vases is

almost gone,

Like Indiana Jones I climbed trees,

crawled up terraces to get her down,

bruised my arms,scaled my knees, series

of sleepless nights-

But Le-Leo lived on, with her incessant

comforting purrs and her loud meows,

her tender lickings and her boisterous

spritzings in the house

she pawed into my heart, snuggled into

our home as the most distinguished

member of our family.

love In veRSe

Samantha and Puddle

Where nobody cares,

I wade through these crowed streets,

In silence I hope I get something to eat,

Today nobody stopped to say hello

I don’t blame them I’m not so

important,

I’m only tiny and left to my fend for my

self

But I’m brave and willing to defend

When the humans look at me and look

away

I feel I don’t deserve any shelter to stay

I wag my tail, i bark , I moo and i bray

And the most I love to sleep all day,

I don’t demand very much,

A few loving pats is all I ask.
