The Magic Cat
***************

Wityh Jinky down by the Lake
and he is able to navigate through
all the bushes and avoid
all the dogs on the paths
life is sweet when there are no dogs

today we met a herman lady
who waded into the lake
up to her knees
singing with her eyes closed
when she was done she waded ashore
=she was glad to see a cat on the beach
she says she does not salure dogs
or any animal who has surrendered
their precioius freedom:
it makes them mean and suspicious

she loved Jinky
and he wiggled around
to let her know
how right she twas

then she told me in s hushed whisper
that many years ago
when her family first moved to the region
from Europe
they lived right by the lake
in a fishermans cottage
that is now long gone
One fine June evening
very much like today
they looked out on the lake
at sunset and way way out there
they saw something white
thrashing around
they couldn't figure out what it was
so her father took the leaky rowboat
and rowed out to see what it was

it was a white cat swimming and frantic
way out in the middle of the lake
they had no idea how a white cat
came to be swimming
in the middle of ther lake at sunset
but her Dad brought the grateful cat aboard
and rowed her back to the cottage
that was her cat for many years
her first friend in Canada
and it was a wonderful cat
that seemd to be grateful to be alive
and was always happy

maybe she fell off a boat
maybe someone tried to drown her
who knows?
But she was a magic cat
friendly and nice
like this little red one here
