howl

It's cold outside, the wind is blowing                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Freeze in the air, soon it will be snowing                                                                                                              Nothing can be better on this whole earth                                                                                                                    Just watching my cats sleeping by the hearth

Many a cat would be filled with delight                                                                                                                                         To be in a warm cozy home for the night                                                                                                                                 But for them it's just a dream far out of sight                                                                                                                              Only abandonment is to be their plight

All I can offer is this plea to all of you                                                                                                                                                               Can you adopt a cat, or maybe even two                                                                                                                                                          If you have a cat, can you neuter or spayed                                                                                                  By doing this less cats have to be saved

I feel a shiver as I hear the wind howl                                                                                                                                                                                   Oh so many cats tonight out on the prowl                                                                                                                                              I am filled with thankfulness gaiety and mirth                                                                                                                                      As I gaze at my at my sleeping cats by the hearth

The winds of March are wild and strong,
They howl and whistle all day long;
They pull the hats from tall men’s heads
And frighten children in their beds.

They brush the trees, they sweep the ground,
I’m glad no seedlings can be found,
For March would hurt each leaf and stem—
But April-time was made for them!
