Cat and Doggerel

"Jessie Butler's Sunday Afternoon Service"



Sleeping deep as a Kraken
When will you awaken?

In the long run we're roadkill
Crushed under Time's chariot wheel
So let's haste to Life's water dish
And drink long and full.

Why not get off the bed
And catch songbirds instead?

But Jessie I don't want to hurry you.


Whilst the cat is asleep
Forth my fears, mouselike, creep.

You lie on the bed
With a lump on your head
That may be a tumour
Or so the vet said -

But let's hope it's a cyst
For you'd be sorely missed.

Ah Jessie, why doesn't it worry you?

She looks as if she's enjoying her sunlit nap! I hope there's nothing sinister in the lump. Rosie and I send love and best wishes.

Indeed she does! She seems fine in herself, so hopefully I'm just being a worrywart. (It is in character.)

She is much too busy to chase birds, there is a sunbeam in need of being napped in.

Hope she's okay. <3

She seems pretty genki just at the moment!

[ashkitty.livejournal.com]

Well, there are no sunbeams NOW. ;)

Aww Jessie. I do hope she'll be OK.

Thanks - me too. The lump is a worry, but then she is prone to little lumps on her skin, and this may just such another.

Cool. Poor kitty with lump on head.

She seems well on it so far, at least.
