Our Cinderella

Posted by Author Dave A. Gardener on

Our Cinderella

We have a lovely fantasy cat named Ella

She likes to cuddle and purr and lick the Nutella

Ever since she was a kitten

You and I were just smitten

But when she’d do something naughty

Or turn up her nose and act all haughty

As she often did in her feline way

We wouldn’t let her ruin our day

Indeed there was much we could say

But we’d just hide her toys for the day

She’d scratch up the fabric on the couch

And mope about like a grouch

But in the end she is all licks and meows

And lets us pet her as she allows

But the day you went away

Was the saddest day she might say

If she could talk, by the way

And she hasn’t been the same since

Even when I try to persuade her or convince

That it’s only temporary you’ve gone away

That you’ll be back again some day

Since then we’ve grown closer, Ella and I

When she’s sad I find a tiny tear in her eye

Although it’s hard to bring her many cheers

She notices and senses my fears

She still leans close to lick away my tears

When I’m thinking of you and weeping, she hears

She understands and we both know it’s true

What will always remain is our deep love for you

    I have heard about this kitty. I was told she could be very naughty, but that the two of you used to spoil her too much because you both found her adorable. Is this true Gentleman Dave?

      Haha, you heard correctly. She is one spoiled kitty but still somehow manages to stay incredibly adorable, using that as her superpower to bend the will of her owner.
