Epitaph For Eartha
2 January, 2000
Author: Simon Marshland
( A most distinguished cat )
When I lived in London in a Mews called Fairfax Place
Life was good although in food I did indulge
I was black as I recall with white whiskers on my face
And my tummy had a most distinctive bulge
Now I've left all that behind and forgive me if I say so
But I'm really most impressed with where I am
For in place of studded collar I've a gorgeous furry Halo
And I've met a most attractive Tom called Sam
------- Author's Notes -------
From time to time everyone loses someone close, and when it happens just how many legs they have is not important. My wife asked me to write an epitaph for her favorite cat. I have a feeling it just may represent the wishes of many others. |
