Friends Those beautiful whiskers, That sleek furry coat, Those shining small eyes, That expressive throat. That funny long tail, That whiskery nose, That greedy small mouth, To which anything goes. Those gorgeous soft creatures, Those fine, loving friends, Such care and affection, We know never ends. And when they have left us, And passed on before us, We know that they're waiting, A sweet ratty chorus! - Elana Kirby
