Shadow

I've had Shadow, since he was a kitten.
The first time I saw him, I was smitten.
Black as night, with a little white tie.
A lovely boy, with a sparkle in his eye.
For seven years now, he's been my bud.
I got myself a real winner, he's no dud.
Lounging around the house, he's the king.
Master of his domain, that's what I mean.
I hope he's here, for a long, long, time.
Shadow, my pal, I'm so glad you're mine.
