Ode to Leo
By daybreak he arose
Black silk his only clothes.
distain for toys
with regal poise
Leo licked his toes.
Pausing on the way
His dominion to survey.
a life sublime
unmeasured time
He didn't have much to say.
Through the trees he crept
Upon his prey he leapt.
furious
curious
Between his naps he slept.
Nine lives to each were given
Before they reach puss heaven.
now incognito
goes by "Burrito"
He walks life number seven.
