An ode to My Cat

An Ode to My Cat

It was nine long years ago

When my morning was on the go

The door bell rang and I opened the door

A little girl stood with a box on the floor.

I wondered what she really wanted

My eyebrows across my forehead slanted

She blinked her eyes behind her glasses

I wondered what idea in her head was planted.

The cat in our block has multiplied

She said smartly quite satisfied

There were five heavenly kittens

She clearly looked quite smitten.

I looked at the box and then at her

A smile I couldn't smother

Did she think I was a fool?

Not now…… please I'm late for school.

I returned in the evening glad to be home

I loosened my hair and ran through a comb

I picked up my hot cup of tea and cake

Tringggg went the bell…Oh for Heaven's sake!!

The same little angel smiling at me

I sighed and said what can I do for thee?

I've got this she said just for you

One sec I replied I'm not through

She's so cute she pleaded ….just see

I explained I didn't want a grey tabby

Ha ha she laughed it's a cute little Tom

Take it right back to where you brought it from.

She looked disheartened ready to weep

I thought you would really want him for keeps

A tear in her eye and a frown on my brow

When from the box someone said meow.

A tiny head popped from under the lid

Glassy green eyes peered and slid

Over my sullen and impatient face

A Cheshire I thought with a grimace.

He sprang out and crawled into my house

Actually looking less of a cat and more of a mouse

I looked about me tired and impatiently

Praying this was just a dream fervently.

I stared at the thing who walked into my abode

And to my strewn socks he gingerly strode

Flopped on it as if he had chosen to stay

And I of course was left with nothing more to say.

And so the journey started with the two of us

I didn't mind him since he made no fuss

By the by he grew on me

Soon I began to stroke him tenderly.

While I watched TV, he'd sit on my lap

When I pored over books, he'd take a nap

Yet I would think of him as an obnoxious burr

When he'd sidle up and dreamily purr.

He's grown now my handsome white and grey

Nine years he's been with me day after day

He loves to eat chocolates barfi and cheese

For these he'd do anything to please.

One day when I was biting into my Toblerone

He stealthily followed me like a drone

He stalked me from room to room

Till I almost flew off on my broom.

Right now my handsome is a bit down

Now its his turn to give me a frown

When I approach him with pills to cure

He hides from me that's for sure

I want him with me for always

I'm looking for spells and ways

To keep him with me for a long time

Though we both are way past our prime.

and your ode is really very good ,i really loved it...😊

here are few lines expressing my bonding with my pet

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reading through your ode a thought past my mind,

I too have a small story to share of your kind.

She came into my life like a sweet clown

I named her Pinky though her color was brown,

Every morning I had a great task,

To drink the milk which my mom left in the flask

But I had no fear when she was next to my table,

And cause of her the "Task" I could enable

On the beach, in the sand, she accompanied me as a true friend

Her past time was to play with me,

And my sister's cat was her greatest enemy,

Taking bath was not her hobby,

But still she did it, to make me happy.

With me she spent the whole of her life

And I too used to treat her like my sweet wife

Its an year now since we are apart

But Pinky my doggy will always remain in my heart.
