Magpie Tales 162 - and Awww Mondays

Between Heaven and Hell, 1989 by Jacek Yerka 

Ode to Larry

I could cook in this kitchen all day long

All day long while chopping and stirring

Chopping and stirring while singing a song

While singing a song to my dear old cat

My dear old cat Larry who warmly sleeps

Who warmly sleeps at the drop of a hat

At the drop of a hat he wakes and leaps

Wakes and leaps as I fill his bowl

I fill his bowl with some tasty leftovers

Tasty leftovers for his dear sweet soul.

~~~~~~~~~~

Larry was a huge 16 pound, in his prime, orange tabby cat

Always faithful always true. He had a huge lion mane and fluffy tail

Larry was short for Larrysauresrex.....or Lawrence the Lion.

He lived 20 years and I still miss him.
