Spring's Duty ending
Smells of wild garlic, bells of dark blue
Grasses in seed, blossoms of cherry
The garden alive, in the song of spring
We'll take it slow and let you limp round
It's hot today and sun warms your old bones
Sit on this carpet of green to enjoy
Flop on your side, old man, if you please
Not even seen, Robin, picking your fur
Postman arrival is not even heard
So you can take, that well warrante...

Trust
Playing in the garden
watching films together
as you nestle into my arm
learning each other's language
You trusted me, eventually
became part of my family
I loved to watch you
explore the world we shared
sunbathing on the rug
or endless pats in the living room
Your fur and the quiet purr
of little teeth grinding
What I've been dreading
now, it's happening
You’re still you
but yo...

Gus
I
Goodbye
The way the lightning taunts me
makes me cower in my home
folded paper walls surround
as the rain falls on and on
Here I'm warm
with comforts near
More than enough
so safe and dear
Still, I can't evade the storm
as it pours
it pelts
it blows
into my pillow
quiet grief
spirals from within my soul

My Cat Daisy
My cat Daisy is the baddest cat around,
She'll attack you so quick without making a sound,
She'll turn you face into a scratching post,
Take a shit then lay on the remote,
You will just think it went missing,
Ask her and she'll pretend she's not listening,
And that's my cat Daisy,
She's fuckin' crazy,
Sick and twisted maybe,
Low key though she's a crybaby,
A...

Good Boy
We murdered our dog today.
Or at least that’s how it feels.
We say it’s for the best.
We say he’s suffering.
But, it feels like a pointless death.
He ran into the vets office.
A Good Boy with cancer.
He tripped twice, bumping a wall,
and peed for the last time.
What did he think as he went inside?
Did he trust us to heal him?
Every day is a new day to a dog,
even when they su...

HOUSE OR A HOME
A HOUSE OR A HOME
If like me, you live alone.......wait!!!!...thats not strictly true
coz, I have three cats AND A DOG, so always lots to do
with feeding time and grooming, plus walking, thats a must
collecting cat n dog fur which is caught up in the dust
My place is never dirty, but, can get in a state
with toys that squeak, bones half chewed and the random empty plate
The cats are sel...

Ongoing Situations
Ongoing Situations
And so the loving owners of their pets turned upon them
The reasons were mundane and generally the same
The animal pissed off the owner who took action
This resulted in harming or killing the pet
For example a Dachshund dog was thrown 5 floors to his death
The owner photographed this and posted it online
His dog looked like he was sleeping but...

Her Dog's Voice
This is about my first dog who sparked off my interest in the paranormal due to experiences I had related to him from a young age
When you were a baby
I was a pup
I was always there
To cheer you up
I'd guard your pram
Outside the shops
With my nose
On your door
I'd often knock
I loved days
When we used
To play ball
I'd lick your knee
Each time
You'...

When Tibbles Had Nibbles
When Tibbles had Nibbles
There once was a mouse
We had in our house
Came over the fence
And I use the past tense
Advisedly
For I have a cat
Who’s getting quite fat
Less crotchet, more minim.
But still has it in him…
Literally.
He pussy foots around
Look what I found!
Fluff on his claws
Spaghetti in his jaws,
Dangling.
His fluffed ...

Charlie & Marley
They sit in the toilet and squak
my mother still thinks that they'll talk
They love each other
their sister and brother
and have beaks as sharp as a hawk
They are green and yellow and blue
they watch you in the loo
but if you take a bath
they'll have a laugh
cause they'll cover you up in their poo
it's been 3 years since they were born
They feed on mostly sweet ...

Tanya & Tiny
Tiny is noise and loud
but cowers when in a crowd
tanay is quiet and loyal
hygenic and clean like a royal
both are crazy and fun
they love to go for a run
tanya likes to explore
tiny lets out a roar
she will always find her
she's always right behind her
and then they both lie on the floor
Tiny will chase all the balls
and bark when the buzzer calls
she will...

Alexander
Cute and fluffy sweet little face
runs away when you start to chase
love to nibble on his kibble
runs around so much fun
wants you to give him ferret one
eats his eggs of a dish
enjoys a piece of fish
have to get up what's my rush?
Alexander's knocked over the toilet brush
comes in the kitchen when you cook
play with him and he'll dook dook dook
after playing for ...

My Old Dog
She is 17 years old,
How many dog years is that?
She is grey around the muzzle.
Very little body fat.
Chicken carcass fills her skin,
So fragile and so weak.
Blind blue opaque eye,
Her temperament so meek.
She sleeps stretched out,
Small brittle arthritic bone.
She twitches as she sleeps,
Time left now is life on loan.
She sleeps so soundly,
this warm summer...

Cat Ass Trophies
In Dalston, London, where we lived for a spell,
we saw many stray cats & some were unwell.
From having just one cat of our own at the start,
we soon had 3 living with us but soon one had to part.
Poor Tommy had been our first and always on the hop,
but from the fits he was having that the vet could not stop
it soon became clear he was in danger so the time came
when we wa...

We're gonna miss that cat
Today Bella died
And yes, both of us cried
‘Though we know so much is sadder than that.
Still she was a good friend,
Dignified ‘til the end
And now, we‘re gonna miss that cat.
She’d warmed both our feet
Would be waiting to greet
And before you could lay down your hat,
You’d hear that great purr
Feel the rub of her fur,
Oh how we’re gonna m...

Blues for a Mog
I once had a cat, but she's gorn, and that's that: no more she'll come running to me, (boo-hoo) 'though I cry ' Alack! ' and ' Oi, Selkit, come back! ' - 'cos she's dead as a doornail, you see.
