Catterel!
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2016 4:18 pm
Some of you may remember my mentioning my three-quarter Siamese George (1983-2001) He was huge and black and resembled the Beast of Bodmin and was utterly gorgeous and gentle in every way.
Today I came across a poem I wrote in his honour...doggerel - well, catterel!
Ode to George -
The size of George; the weight of George!
The eyes of George; the slightly rolling gait of George!
The midnight black of George; the gravity of George!
The upright back of George; the dignity and suavity of George!
The barefaced cheek of George; the charm of George!
The pearshaped sleek of George; the stately calm of George!
The lumbering paws of George; the raucousness of George!
The rumbling snores of George, and oh -
The absolute and utter
George-ousness
Of George!
