Ellie Cat
Ellie cat
Brown and fat
Bloated with life
Kittens inside
Afraid to stray
Afraid to run
Afraid of all
You want your mom
Like a ball deflating
You flop on the floor
And with pleading eyes
Want me to do more
I do feel your pain
But I cannot ease it
And I cannot hold you
You can't bear to squeeze it
Your swollen belly
That roils and turns
Your teats so sore
For relief you yearn
Any day now
Your babies will birth
And fill both our lives
With love, laughter and mirth.
