the Persian cat never returns

Now it happens

The day I thought it would

The Persian cat hasn't shown his face

He had his last meal yesterday

Today I don't see him greeting me

The usual morning I will see his face

Now I know he is gone

No shadow of him in the garden

I walk the streets

Looking in the back lanes

Nope I don't see him

I only see other stray cats

I even drive around

Hoping to find him leaping on the road

I see no sign of the Persian cat

He has vanished from my sight

I don't feel the lost

He doesn't want to listen

Somebody may have caged him

Now I hope he realizes he loses his freedom

It is good to listen to advice

Think about it before one leaps across

You may think you are young and energetic

Once misstep it is all it takes
