Analysis of Angels With Whiskers
Angels with whiskers, a tail and four paws,
are conduits of pure love
without human flaws.
No harbored grudges; nothing to forgive.
No spurious intention.
Just live and let live.
No pompous ego; nothing to forgive.
No snobbish condescension.
Just live and let live.
No vengeful scheming; nothing to forgive.
No specious retribution.
Just live and let live.
No bogus charades; nothing to forgive.
No conjured imitation.
Just live and let live.
Angels with whiskers, a tail and four paws,
are marvelous examples
worthy of our awes.
