MY WELCOME AT HOME

MY WELCOME AT HOME

The cat is listening for the car,

My wife has told me so…

And when I come in the doorway at night

He sashays toward me slow.

-

The first thing he wants is his dish refilled

With something that he’d like to eat…

Then he gets in the way as I take off my shoes,

As he purrs to his own beat.

-

I gently raise him up to my chest

And the purrs grow louder still…

He squinches his eyes to show his is pleased,

All part of his welcoming drill.
