They’re much more faithful than a human
And they never answers back
They are loyal and true and loving
Even when they get a whack
The never will betray us
No matter what we do
And when they see we’re sad
They will also feel quite blue
They rely on us for food
And also walks as well
We can disclose all our secrets
For they will never tell
Although they’re often know
As being ‘man’s best friend
I’d say they are the only ones
On whom we can depend.

The love that you showed him throughout his life
Cannot be measured or deleted
For you gave him much joy, it has to be said
Until his final breathe was completed
He cannot be replaced, nor should he be
He was precious beyond compare
You need some time to grieve for him
Which of course, is only fair
Dogs live so long, they become family
They are loyal and trusting, it’s true
And only you know what tomorrow will bring
Maybe even a CAT or two!
So you mustn’t be sad, just remember his ways
And the fun that you had through the years
He’ll stay in your mind and pop into your thoughts
Helping you smile through your tears.

The corn fed chicken was free to roam
The farmyard paths that it called home .
The greedy pig used to like to scoff,
All the rubbish that was in the trough.
The gaggle of geese would stand so proud
But when they spoke, my god, they were loud.
The resident sheepdog was ever so bright,
He was the only one to see the light.
Old MacDonald had long since died,
‘Not before time,’ his wife she sighed.
The children had gone to pastures new
But the cows still stood and sang with a moo.
The little old donkey in the far off grass
Backed up to the fence to scratch his ass.
The buttercups swayed in the gentle breeze
As the cat sat scratching away at its fleas.
Life seemed good – It was a normal day
As the farmhand romped away in the hay.

I saw a cat with bright green eyes
Down at the Rescue today
He looked at me and said ‘Take me home’
Would I just – if I had my own way!
I saw a lovely Tabby Mum
With her two sons – Fluffy and Felix
They tore at my heart, but I already have four!
And with them – they would just never mix
I saw other cats trotting here and there-
Going about their daily routine
The feeling down there is beyond compare-
It’s the best place I’ve ever been!
I’ve been to Paris and London too
And I’ve drank Champagne on a boat
But a visit to the Cat Rescue –
Always brings a lump to my throat.
There’s something down there- SO tranquil and still
Simply something that money can’t buy
I could bring them ALL home, but my Husband said NO!
Ah Well! – It was still worth a try!
Some cats are majestic, others are bold
And some they just know how to charm.
All cats are wise and give out so much love
Just one stroke brings so much inner calm
If you feel you could sponsor a lonely cat
That’s been abandoned, or simply is lost!
It’s the most worthwhile thing that you ever could do
-No matter how little the cost.
These creatures are mystical – We need them around
To make sense of this crazy old planet
It can’t hurt to love them and give them a home
Well really – I ask you – Can it?
