A Sad Kitten Tale

Little girls unlike kittens

don't often feel pretty

Little Laddie was no exception

But she didn't mind boys not looking her way

The only attention she wanted was from her little kitty

A little tot, Boiler was her name

Boiler looked as if she'd been playing in oil all day

She had black paws and a black mask

Like her mask, her tail was the same

Then one day the Bendergraphs moved next door

Laddie held Boiler close, unaware of what was in store

They watched box after box being brought into the house

The house that once belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Pattenmouse

A small creature called Yipper, ran from out of view

Chased Boiler away, Laddie screamed “GET BACK HERE YOU!”

Boiler so fast hid under a tree

As soon as Yipper saw, Boiler jolted

Shocking the Johnsons, knocking over their tea

Boiler ran so fast, but she ran the wrong way

With a thump of a truck

Was the start of Ladies very bad day

“NO!” Laddie yelled as she ran to her pretty

Her lovely white dress now covered in kitty

A voice smooth as silk uttered a gasp

As Laddie looked up and met eyes with the new Mrs. Bendergraph

Laddie took Boiler home

Showed her to her mother

She let out a yell, then stormed outside and let out another

From the window, as far as Laddie could see

An angry mother and a sorrowful other

Laddie just looked down at her precious little friend

Now laying there cold

Laddie remembered the time they'd shared, so little

For Boiler was only 7 months old

Boilers funeral was short

A shallow grave and her water bowl

Laddie wore her little white dress

Though it was no longer white

More a darkish black red.

End.
