Mittens

To Both Mittens and Dennis:

TWO LITTLE KITTENS:

PEACE TRANQUILITY
NEVERMORE TO BE
THEY HAVE TAKEN COMMAND
OF OUR CHATEAU.
ONE IS CALLED DENNIS
A BULL YOU WILL SEE
THE OTHER IS MITTENS
AS GENTLE AS SNOW.
FROM HERE TO THERE AND
ALL AROUND THEY RAN
NEVER AWARE
NEVER CARING OF HOW
THEY TURNED AN ENEMY
INTO A FAN.
THEY LIVED NOT
FOR THE FUTURE BUT FOR NOW.

THESE TWO LITTLE KITTENS
PLACED THEIR OWN MARKS
AS THEY WORKED THEIR WAY
INTO OUR CALM LIFE.
BY DOING SO THEY
FILLED OUR HEARTS
WITH JOY CONTENTMENT
WITHOUT ANY STRIVE.

WE REMEMBER
THE PRECIOUS TIMES WE HAD
THEIR SPIRITS ARE
WITH US FOREVERMORE.
