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.
