Poo Bear---(just for fun)

     This is a silly poem about a cat I once had.  He was given to us already an adult cat.  Originally he was a throwaway found on the roadside during a rain storm---a little bedraggled kitten, pitiful, hungry and cold.  He was a special kitty who is still my favorite of all time.  I miss him still.  We were gone when he got sick and finally died.  I regret not having him with us at the time.  Since I can't re-do the past, I can only remember him with love.  

Poo to You

My name is Bear---Poo Bear

My early days are a mystery

I was born who knows where

Still, I have an unique history

I remember not, but I was told

I was abandoned---I almost died

Poor me, scruffy, hungry and cold,

forlorn---scared--okay---terrified!

Picked up by the scruff of my neck

taken to a house warm and cozy,

I thought my woes over, by heck

The food was great and all was rosy.

I grew, I played, and I thrived

I'm Siamese so they called me "Chang"

I was content and glad to be alive

I was getting quite handsome, by dang!

Then one day, in a box I was thrown

I was jostled---would it never stop? 

Why, what on earth could be wrong?

Oh woe is me, this is quite a shock!

Then, oh no, what's happening now?

A new house full of strange folk

Help!  I was cat-napped somehow!

Gotta hide fast---is this a cruel joke?

I hid under the bathtub for many days

I came out only when no one could see

These were weird folks with weird ways

But at least they set food out for me

Little by little I decided to try

to be part of this strange new family

I'm really a curious and friendly guy,

But were they good enough for me?

I allowed them to coax me out at last

I sprayed my scent most every place

I meowed in my very Siamese best

I scratched the furniture to save face.

Next, oh boy, what happened then!

I found myself inside a cage

Uh oh, oh no, here we go again! 

Its enough to throw me in a rage!

It was worse than my worst nightmare!

It was a Vet's they left me at!

He changed me forever---you know where!

I was such a miserable kitty cat!

Then, wow, I got to go back home

to be pampered and spoiled a bit

Funny, I no longer cared to roam

Yes---I was loved and I loved it!

Content, fat and cuddly I became

Affectionate and sweet---a real nice guy!

That's when they changed my name

Nowadays,  Bear---Poo Bear am I!
