DEDICATED TO G A T O (Latest Ver)



Oh dear, dear Gato-
   You were gifted
      To be lifted
         Out of the ghetto!

You....struck lotto!

And, in your new found home -
    A far far bark from that hovel,
You received love and care,
    With no need to grovel!

Here, you weaved your magik
   Mesmerising the publik;
With your penetrating gaze,
   Leaving your teeming admirers in a daze.

Oh dear, dear Gato,
   You are far from a N A T O (No Action Talk Only)
A dog of action,
    With a flair for detection!

You donned your uniform,
    A call to attention,
And swearing allegiance -
You are now honour bound
    To go out there and perform
And reform...

Cleansing the streets of
Dog and cat miscreants,
A loyal public servant-
  Striving to make this world
     A safer
       And better place!

About this poem

Written for a dog discovered abandoned in a ditch. Taken into a loving home, he bloomed into a spoilt, loving pet with an almost human personality.
