HENRI'S BIRTHDAY

Henri's lament about another year passing...

Another year has passed. I find

It has left no change behind.

My water bowl sits on the floor

As it did the day before,

And my bumbling human slave

Cannot give me what I crave,

Only fills the boring dish.

I wish that I knew how to wish.

if only we could speak dog or cat and know exactly what they are saying.

[Gaston Villanueva]

This is one of my favorite things you've written
Thanks for sharing!

[Jennie Baron]

Oh my goodness, I'm happy to have read this, Marie! Anyone who knows cats knows whereof you speak here and you've put it so fluently.

[Michael G.]

Extremely clever, Marie! Every cat I've ever known or associated with in my life, has had a look on it's face that said just what you wrote.
