My Misty Cat Of all of the fur creatures that I have been shown, You were the best that i ever have known, Oh my darling Misty, how can I let you go? Your little face was so expressive and true, You were such a happy cat and this place is so empty without you. I miss your meow with it's many inflections, And your beautiful tail which went in many directions, You were so pretty, a shiny gray-blue, With eyes almost almond with a pretty green hue. Oh Misty, how can I live without you? You were everything good and would never do harm, (only to mice and birds were you cause for alarm) You would melt many hearts with your sweetness and charm, Oh Misty, my Misty, how could you die? And leave me wet faced from all the tears that I cry? I know you have moved from my space to my heart, But thinking of you makes me miss you, and tears me apart. I miss seeing you curled in a ball on the couch, And everywhere else, all over this house. The flowerpot outside is bereft of your form, And everywhere else Is so empty and forlorn. No sweet little shadow following me all about, Whether I'm doing the laundry, or just going out. Oh Misty, how can I just do without? The children all miss you and ask where you are, The neighbors and friends send me sympathy cards, So sweet of them really, Yet I am so blue, Oh what will I ever do without you? Your bowls and your brush, Christmas stocking and toys, Bring on more waterworks, though someday I 'll remember the joys, Yet now as I sit here and cry the ten thousandth tear, Life would only be rosy, if my Misty were here.
