Frankie, my twenty year old cat



Frankie is a greeter
"Hail fellow well met"
He is ever sweeter as a wondrous pet

Frankie is a buddy
"Companion of lore"
He is a case study of esprit de corps

Frankie is a hunter
"Stalking after prey"
He is every bunter in a head butt way

Frankie is a lover
"On a catbird seat"
He is undercover seeking cats in heat

Frankie is a cuddler
"Duly pressing flesh"
He is cozy huddler keeping spirits fresh

Frankie is a crooner
"Purring a fine tune"
He is astral lunar making many swoon
