Cuddly

All weathers and winters

Whatever may be,

My house is a haven

For Cuddly and me.

 

My bed s by the window

Exposed to the air,

And there, in the corner

Is Cuddly s chair.

My table and napkin

I ve placed at the door,

And Cuddly eats with me,

Down on the floor.

 

When I go to the bathroom

Cuddly goes too-

He follows me everywhere,

Does what I do.

 

He ll slumber through morning,

Through midday he ll doze;

He ll find the best places

In which to repose.

 

O Cuddly, my happiness,

Drawn from a hat-

I cannot imagine

A life with no cat!

 

A mouthful of food,

A warm place to stay

Has won me a friend

Who goes never away!

 

We ve lived here fraternally

Four years or five-

I ll see him eternally,

Dead or alive.
