Dispatches from Sauerkraut: Robert Frost I Am Not

Picture
The cold, it blows in
The snow and sleet fall
I watch through the window
As people go by in their coats and hats

There is one good thing
About being a cat
In the midst of the cold:
I have a coat and leggings built-in

Go on with your days
Of stoking the fire
And cranking the heat
On the butt-warmers in your cars

I am the lucky one
I have a Pops to hold me
And Humom to dress me
And a floor vent that blows warm air

But I came from the shelter
Where my brethren all huddle
And wait for a blessing
That I was so fortunate to fall into

This winter think of the cats
(And the dogs if you must)
And bring them into your home
And your heart if you have the space

We will repay you forever
With our love and attention
And I’ll bet with my four paws
We’ll keep you warm when the lights go out.

Amen Ms. Kraut - kitties are the purrsonal portable heaters given to us by God.

    As a very small cat, and having no opposable thumbs to work the mouse, I leave the blogging to Pops or Humom.
