Analysis of Loyal Chum
Memories of faithfulness are vivid in my mind.
The ultimate companion
was by my cat defined.
Delighted to welcome me she danced when I came home.
The preeminent greeting
from my cat's pleasure dome.
Playful antics to amuse were used by this droll clown.
The paramount harlequin
vouchsafed my cat's renown.
Snuggle-cuddle affection was her approach to life.
The paragon of loving
found in my cat was rife.
Simple trust and innocence was her constant display.
The perfect relationship
formed my cat-potter's clay.
With the demise of my friend the loss can overwhelm.
The consummate, loyal chum
observed in my cat's realm.
