The cat

It's probably someone's favourite pet
.. it's loved and cared for all the time.
The fur glistens.... and it probably purrs
like a vibrator on top speed

But as I passed it on the road
only the back legs were vibrating
The fur was messed and it was not pretty

I was glad that another driver had stopped
so that I wasn't faced with the awful choice
I could drive on.... knowing that the other guy
had to decide what to do

What to do when the dollar decides
if this bundle should live or die
Or even if that choice exists!

.... and I hope that when my time comes
and I'm a quivering bundle
of misery and pain
that the decision on my demise
is one of compassion.... to end the pain
