I Don’t Want a Cat
You just arrived
I came home and there you were
Happy as can be
Lounging about as if you had a given right
I put you out
You came back in
How I didn’t know
But you did
I was adamant
No matter how cute you were
There would be no encouragement
You were not mine
And I was definitely not yours
Yeah right …
A lifetime later I broke my heart
Over the cat that I never wanted
[Prompt: A time when something really bad happened…that later turned out to be a good thing.]
This had me close to tears. There is nothing like losing a pet. <\3
This is such a wonderful poem that a lot of people can relate to – being found and chosen by a pet. <3
Cats have this way of making us love them, even when we don’t want them. Love this bad to good to sad poem. Well done.
