Raindrops On Cat Backs Poem by Kevin Rottweiler

cold rain on cat backs
gives an adrenalin
heart attack
you know how cats are
taking the catnip
but the raindrops
can be soothing
they can refresh
an aching soul
these cats are
wonderful alley cats
they sing in the rain
they take away the pain
visiting the hospice patients
a lady carries them into
a place
where people need help
but the cats are confined
inside the cat carriers
they don't get to sit on the bed
but the people see them purring
the cats are just scared to come out
but once the lady let them out
and one ran out of the room
towards the kitchen
so they help the senior citizens
and the hospice patients
some can sing old songs
'Blessed Assurance'
a Siamese cat sung
and he smiled
although his teeth
were missing
and a man in bed
he laughed at the cat
because he had no teeth either
so they were good friends now
and the man waits patiently
for the lady and cat
to visit him
such good felines
helping people
