Now for Sandra's poem to Barney

Ode to My Sugarcat Barney

Our tiger Chelsea never came home
She was a tiger, the first cat for DH
And he loved her, but did not know
That cats pick humans, not the other way round

In a cage with a note attached
Saying, my name is Barney
I am so afraid,please take me home
How could it be?

He looked just like Chelsea
But,was a scardy cat, who played dead
If humans approached to close,
Something taught by the mother cat

A tiger, ferocious but gentle inside
Staying his distance all the while
Until the day the diabetes was known
And he began teaching me love

Now, looking back
Love given and received
Has taught me that on that day
He chose me,
