Leo The Lion Poem by AHO Speaks

My cat Leo has gone astray withot a trace
The beautiful candy stripe with the handsome face.

Lost for three days as if he left town
No wonder for three days my face had a frown.

I thought of the positive aspects of this case
No more litter and I'm starting to forget his handsome face.

Then up the walk past my outdoor shed
A plaintive voice from a furry friend; I had thought dead.

I opened the lock and there he was all intact
In spite of the positive thoughts; I was glad to have my cat back.

Now my cat is here and back to the old grind
He trying to know me and I trying to understand; the feline mind.

He is home now and no more to roam
This feline creature; a pemanent part of my home.
