I was a loyal friend,
Yet you betrayed me again.
You make a habit of lying,
While I wait out here crying.
What’s your excuse this time?
Don’t just hand me a line–
Cuz I’ve got your number,
And I ain’t gettin’ younger.
I hear laughter from your room;
Are you on that damn Zoom?
My food bowl is empty…

I bet that many cats think that they are being forgotten when they see that their food bowls are empty. Nice poetry Paula.

Ha! I thought for sure as I was reading this that it was about an ex who had done you wrong. But that surprise ending was priceless. Well done.

This is a wonderful poem. Could be a woman. could be a child, but at last we find out..it is a pet. And this makes the words that have come before even more true!
