Our grateful thanks to Carolyn Winchester for sending us the following poem entitled “So Sad, So True”.

I adopted your cat today.
He had fleas and a cold,
But don’t worry none.
You’ve unburdened your load.

I adopted your cat today.
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies
Or was there no reason he couldn’t stay?

I adopted your cat today.
He doesn’t play or eat much.
He’s very depressed,
But he will learn again to trust.

I adopted your cat today
And here he will stay.
He’s found his forever home
And a warm bed to lay.

I adopted your cat today
And I will give him all that he could need.
Patience, love, security, and understanding.
Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.”
