that old orange cat

when i was young,

and the day just begun,

i would skip my way to the bus

but one cold day

i saw a stray,

making quite the fuss.

an orange cat

who was quite fat

came running to my feet

i picked him up

and then he purred

it really was a treat!

he came everyday

and we got to play

and life seemed real fine.

then i got a pup

and cat stopped showing up

that cute old cat of mine
