Lost Cat

A cat walked by, appearing lost.

Our paths before this never crossed.

Alone on city streets might cost

Him more than he could know.

 

He then meowed and took a chance

By rubbing up against my pants.

Then, giving me a backwards glance,

Decided he should go.

 

He quickly dashed across the street

And luckily, no cars did meet.

A couple passed and stopped to greet

Him with a big hello.

 

They petted him but didn’t stay.

I lost him as they walked away.

I hope that by the end of day,

He’s home and lying low.
