My sweet Tiggy Wiggy
I found you today
Curled up in the 'red' room
On your side you do lay
I spoke to you once
But you didn't respond
Though your eyes were open
I knew you were gone
I touched you so gently
Softly calling your name
Then suddenly I felt it
The sadness, the shame
How long had you laid there
An hour? Maybe two?
I sobbed with my angst
For I had lost you.
Another of my pets
Has died from old age
I remember it well
When I chose you from the cage
I went to the pound
Picked you right from the start
I had Carrie then too
And without ne're a bark
You joined our famly
We all got along fine
We just melded together
Like aged cheese and fine wine
But now you are gone
You just left me today
A few hours ago
That's what the vets say
I hope that I helped
Make your life here on earth
Welcome and happy
As you wandered your turf.
