A Very Soggy Moggy

WELL, a little rain finally fell yesterday, and again today. Not a lot – but enough to make The Cat very wet indeed. And, as cats do, instead of letting me dry him with an old towel, he showed his love and affection by winding himself round my legs.

So here is a poem I wrote when his predecessor was young, and the ways of cats were still a novelty to me.

I’m a very soggy moggy
And my fur is soaking wet,
I’m a very soggy moggy
But I’m still your loving pet.

I’ll wrap myself around your legs
While I dry my dripping fur,
I’ll wrap myself around your legs
As I look at you and purr.
