LOST KITTEN AT THE DOOR, by                    
First Line: Purr softly ... / for surely someone
Last Line: Will put the others of her little brood to bed!
Subject(s): Mothers


Purr softly ...
For surely someone will decide to let you in.
Cold loneliness is not for such a gentle thing
As you. And then besides, a worried Mother Cat
Is counting out her little brood and praying that
A kindly soul somewhere will stroke your tiny paw
And let a bit of friendly fire her truant kitten thaw!

Purr softly ...
For folks will know you're weary of your little fling,
And soon their altruistic hearts will start to sing
Because of you. A problem kitty though you be,
You soon will doze in undeserved security;
And Mother Cat, her final pussy prayer a-said,
Will put the others of her little brood to bed!
