My Cat

I found a stray cat
on a grey winter day
she was shivering cold
she was wasting away
So I took her inside
and I gave her some milk
and I gave hr a bed
on a blanket of silk

A year or two later
at once I took sick
and the doctors decided
that I would go quick
and nothing could save me
once they got it sorted
or maybe they could
but I couldn't afford it

So they left in a bunch
each one shaking his head
believing by morning
that I would be dead

but then, as I lay there deleriously
my cat began acting mysteriously -

My cat appeared before me in the night
all around her there glowed a miraculous light
and she stood on her legs as just tall as a man
and she held out a potion in her little hand
and she said,  you are good, and because you were kind
I'm going to help you, I've made up my mind
I'm going to save you, at least I will try
I'm going to help you, I won't let you die

Then she gave me a drink
from a little blue flask
and it made me feel wierd
but before I could ask
my cat disappeared in a flash, in a wink
And I was to muddled to know what to think

But the very next day
I was feelin much better
so I got up to shower
and find a clean sweater
and  yes, I was starving
and so was my cat
so we both ate and drank
till we felt full and fat

then she purred and rubbed on my leg for attention
but as for the potion, it never was mentioned
and I suspect it was soon after that
she began to become just a regular cat,
except that she wears a most mystical smile
when she brings me a mouse, every once in a while.
