I'm in a state of shock and grief,
Maybe too, some disbelief--
But two friends of mine I found
On the road--dead--mowed down!
Oh what a terrible surprise,
That this morning filled my eyes.
Two beloved ones for whom I cared,
Gone from me, no longer there!
Suddenly I feel so old,
As I view their bodies cold.
The friendship that we knew so long,
In a blink is over, gone!
Am I silly to feel like that
For I'm grieving o'er two cats.
Yet in their time they came to be,
A dear part of my family.
Yes, it was a cat-tastrophy,
Such a sad discovery.
How quickly from us things pass away,
To immediately distress our day.
Bear with me and let me tell,
Of these friends I knew so well.
Special things of them I recall,
Cherished in my mem'ries now.
KEKE's entrance was unique,
Once as a wild one, around he's sneak.
But when another cat had died,
He tamed down, filled that place with pride!
And faithful too, he's always been,
Through the good times and the lean
He was a pleasure as my pet,
I know Him, I'll ne'er forget!
GYPSY also came to us,
Showed up one day, without a fuss
Evidently as KEKE's guest,
His life and ours so to bless.
GYPSY was sweet as could be,
But was scruffed up frequently.
Yet was tough, and gentle, too,
A classy cat, through and through!
My welcoming committee,
There at home to greet me
Springing to action when I'd drive in,
With a "welcome back" and "where ya' been?"
In the side yard, I laid them to rest,
Not far from where they gave me their best.
How old I feel, brought to misery,
But fore'er I'll cherish their sweet memory!
