   KNOWING THE IMPORTANT STUFF

                  My cat Sukie
                  knows the importance
                  of watching water
                  drip drop by drop,
                  of chasing butterflies
                  she never catches,
                  of watching leaves
                  should a mouse appear,
                  but , best of all,
                  she knows
                  the importance of being Sukie.

QUEEN SUKIE
        THE QUEEN'S REVEILLE

Sukie, my dear please let me sleep,
I have a dream to hold onto and keep.
I heard the pencil that fell on the floor,
And, yes, then the pen, and then
something more .

I felt you go thump across my sleepy torso,
cross my shoulder then hip and then a wee bit more so.
I felt the soft paw you put on my nose,
The way the sequence most usually goes.

You saved and you served your best shot for last,
that cold nose of yours sure got me up fast.
I'm up and will open your window view,
pray tell me, my queen, what else may I do?

For your every wish is a command come true,
and my mission in life is to serve only you.
Humbly, apologies, I hereby make,
for the time it took you to get me awake.
