Calico Friends

We are calico kitties,
And we are best of friends.
Wherever one might go,
The other marches in.

You can't really separate someone,
If they are truly friends.
We are company to each other,
And will be to the end.

We run and jump and chase each other,
And play with strings of yarn.
Sometimes we play outside,
When there are no signs of harm.

We like to climb the tree up high,
And play in our own swing.
It was made just for the two of us,
With a board and vines and string.

And we like all those things,
Especially since there are no mice.
We make do with homemade toys,
And they are always nice.

My Master calls us his sweet trophies,
And of course we're really very sweet.
He wouldn't give us up for anything,
Not to any one for any treat.

Our calico coats are so many colors,
We'd blend in any season,
But especially now that it is harvest time,
Our colors really fill the reason.

We like to run and play in leaves,
And watch the wind blow through.
You never know how much fun it is,
Until they all come falling down on you.

We like to lie belly up,
Out in the warm sunshine,
And feel the breeze blow through our fur,
And really enjoy our time.

We have another friend and he's a bird,
So he won't come too near.
I think he might be scared perhaps,
Of some things that he did hear.

Sometime he gets a little fussy,
Afraid we're getting a bit too close.
He's okay as long as he stays away,
And stays on his fence post.

I think I hear my Master calling us,
It's just about our supper time.
But we still have lots to do,
Until his clock will chime.

But when he's ready for lights out,
No arguing do we do.
We cuddle up in our own bed,
As he says..not a sound from you!

No more running or jumping up,
We know our day is done,
But he arises bright and early,
So we rise up with the sun.
