Tommy The Cat by W.S.Elliott 2022
The street wise cat of a murdishaw close
Patrolling the fence both front and back
Even in weather not many of us would hack
Stormy rain, wind or sun nothing dettered Tommy from his outdoor reign
He was strong yet scruffy but loved all the same
Even when he slept on the Toaster, an oven tray or the George Forman again
You fought real brave with strength and courage
But now brave Tommy you will suffer no more but you never be forgotten and loved all the more
Thankyou our gangster cat with your funny little rare meow and strutt for looking over us and making us smile
So long from us, peggy, George and bluebelle rest in peace Tom
Goodbye Tommy
Thankyou with a purr
For being our cat with his white and tabby fur
So long farewell.
