A Feline for the Ages
Mother's cat died the other day
20 years, 6 months, and 6 days
It was only near the end,
her athletic prowess ceased...
of leaping onto a 30 inch high table to be fed
It was the same day I noticed a change
Hair on her nose seemingly rearranged
Nearly coinciding with an odd, violent, head shaking
A stroke-borne tumer had greatly numbered her days
Her friendly disposition did not change
