Ode to my lady

 

Suzie, my little girl,

I love the way your body curls.

You’re as bright as a button-

I love you to bits.

Clever little kitten

You always make my dark mood lift;

From an oyster came a pearl.

 

Suzie, you pretty feline,

I’m glad that you’re all mine.

So playful and alert,

I love your little ways.

Your cute little habits,

Your company fills my days.

You make a dull, cold day seem fine.

Suzie, you colourful cat,

 

I love it when you snuggle on my lap.

You always get my attention,

When you scratch my shin

And your looks make my heart ache

When I’ve been out and just walked in.

But for you I’ll always adapt.

 

For Fred.
