So Penny Hibshman has a new poem in response to our cat Betty. Thanks Penny!
Betty has a soul mate
Her name is Abigail
Her internal clock
Is never known to fail.
To say that she is portly
Is truly being kind
For if she thought she’d lost a pound
She’d find it close behind.
She has a way of walking
That has to be a fluke
When you’re watching from behind
You’d swear she was “The Duke”.
She’ll waddle to the kitchen
Belly hanging low
When she makes a sudden stop
It wobbles to and fro.
When she thinks she’s getting fed
She gets so stimulated
I’ve never seen a whirling top
so well emulated.
She really does enjoy her food
She fussy on the timing
The fact she isn’t twice as big
Is really quite surprising
Fall back and then spring forward
you’ve heard the little rhyme
to help you with untimely woes
in daylight savings time.
That extra hour is handy
running late and in a crunch
But Abby’s only worry is
the lateness of her lunch.
