The Old Man Purred
“I hope it rains" the old cat said
Sitting low on the windowsill
"Dry outside
Not much to do now
Old age has come to me
I don’t like to play that much these days
I sit here
Old
I wonder maybe it will rain today
I never liked the rain, cold and wet
I wanted to play and romp outside
I wanted to run then hide
Life was Summer fun
I wish I could do it all again
To live my life once more
That won’t happen now
I know this so true
I’ll just sit here
And watch the rain
When it comes today
I do, I meow
Hope it rains"
The old boy purred
Sitting on the windowsill
Not much to do or say
He sat right there
Watched the rain
Wishing he had more to say
