FRISKY OUR CAT

by RICHARD SATTANNI
(BRIDGEPORT CT.)

FRISKY just returned today-
For ten days he had been away-
Meowing at the window with sorry eyes-
Seeing him return was a nice surprise-
HE ate some food and wanted more-
HE meowed and meowed some more-
HE seemed to be glad to be home-
Guess he no longer wants to roam-
HE is resting on a chair-
HE knows truly that we care-
HE opens his eyes to check on me-
FOR at times I was his security-
IT'S nice that he returned today-
For his return has made my day-
Now happy I write this poem-
For my cat FRISKY is back at home-
THE END
