"No Body's Gonna Mess W' My Super Cat!"
Today I got My Super Cat --
not the tabby from My Childhood --
Today I got ASTRO --
The Longest Living Cat From The Pound --
The Biggest, Sleekest, Blackest Cat
picked out by Me when All I had To Go By
was a dark and haunted face
sticking out from a butterflied cat bed
advertising He Was Free!
(since He'd been there over a year
the adoption fee would be waived)
but now He's worth My Life --
I don't have to say "He's My Mascot!"
This Is All I Have To Say --
and I've said it to Him already:
"Astro, Wherever YOU go, I GO"
