Ninth LIfe Poetry
My Tale of My Tail;
Cat with Nine Lives
There once was a cat who really did have nine lives
Grateful cuss, each death's new life credited a friend
Then one day, life of eight, his earthly time 'bout up
Before he was looking forward to happy times
But come life number nine he began counting down
Down to the very end, day there would be no more

Notes:
1. Fireblossom want us to write our last message with death looming.
2. The Cat is our daughter's "Amber". Amber stayed with us for her last life which ended sometime during her 19th year on earth. Amber was a rescue cat who led a good life. Picture from my other blog, http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2007/04/cat-whisperer-and-cat-in-window.html
3. I have blogged about having nine lives and nine near deaths before, on January 6, 2006 ( http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2006/01/my-nine-lives-or-my-near-death.html ).
