Sammy jumped into my lap,

And settled down to take a nap.

Normally, that’s fine with me,

But suddenly, I have to pee!

Went to the kitchen for some salsa,

Came back to make a tasty tostada.

But Sammy had run off to the Ramada,

With every bit of my carne asada!

I tried to think of happier thoughts,

True love, Christmas or ice cream cones.

They couldn’t compete with the sheer delight,

Of Sammy chomping on alligator bones.

I love my kitten lots and lots.

I love her more than tater tots!

I love my kitten, yes I do!

I would never, ever put her in the stew.

Hurricanes, politics, hatred and war,

Every day of our lives are filled with struggles.

And whenever I am feeling overwhelmed,

I can always depend on kitten snuggles.

It makes Sammy sad when I have to go to work,

She rubs against my legs and flops down on the floor.

And just when I think she couldn’t possibly be more cute,

She turns it up, even cuter and blocking the door.

It was love at first sight,

Everyone knows how that goes.

Sammy, purring in my arms, looks up

And tenderly licks my nose.

The momentous day had finally arrived,

When my son decided to leave the nest.

If you think I’m lonely, don’t worry, I’m not.

Because Sammy always loved me best!

To those who loved and lived in nature,

Like Marlin Perkins and old Euell Gibbons,

Bet they never witnessed wildlife quite as fierce

As Sammy chasing ribbons.

Birds are singing, the sun is peeking,

Windows are open for the sweet, cool breeze.

I’m lying in bed with a purring kitten, thinking

Sunday mornings are made for these…
