Oh animals
that came and went,
some by chance
and never meant
to live indoors –
domesticated,
sharing abode –
sophisticated.
Oh animals
never turned away-
all cats and dogs
please step this way,
and make your stamp
and presence felt,
and prove your worth,
as hearts you melt.
Oh animals
pass on the word
that on the grape-vine
you have heard,
a ‘grooming service’
at your disposal,
exchanged for love –
a fair proposal.
Oh animals
quickly join the queue,
that keeps on gathering
down yonder view.
Such luxury
you’ve never known.
Inside and outside beds
to call your own.
Oh animals
that came and went,
and all in,
their element,
lived out their days,
and remembered still,
as new arrivals come
and always will.
Oh animals
that went astray,
in our minds so close,
to this very day.
and if you’re still out there-
Splodge – just running free,
your Mum and brother waiting
by your favourite tree.
