my cat's audrey hepburn

My son and I were talking,

as you do,

a silly conversation

just for fun.

About my black cat

now so old and small

but still quite sweet and pretty

just the same.

“If Gemma was a film star

who’d she be?”

and we both answered

simultaneously

“Audrey Hepburn.”

How spooky!

Hi and thank you for your comments. I've just visited your profile page and read some of your stuff. It's uplifting and sparky. Wow, foxglove...is that your real name? I had a mild obsession with foxgloves. Now ferns have taken over! .

Delightful little ditty. Sleek and thin, I presume. And, yes, I agree, quite 'spooky'. But these instant connections do happen in families. My fifteen-year-old grandson would totally croak if he knew how often he sounds exactly like his mother - vocabulary - timing - tone - thought processing!

Spooky indeed. The pic reminds me of Greta Garbo. Dark and sultry.

Nice little conversation piece.
