the cat has grown old


The cat has grown old
The decades it has ruled
The areas under his charge
The rats stay indoors

But the moon has set many times
The cat has counted his days
Now he can't run as fast as he can
The time has slowed him down

As he lays down on his soft carpeted mat
He sees the rats running free
He can't run after the rats
He has no speed to match

The rats can make fun of him
They will ignore his laws and instructions
They can go any place they want
The cat will only stare

It is now left to the new owner
To find a replacement to get it going
The cat has served his time in his life
Before the rats become a nuisance in society
