Chat To The Cat

Chat to the cat
about this and that.

Pass the time of day.
She'll not disclose your secrets

but she'll absorb
every word you say.

Confess to the cat
your worries.

Confide in the cat
you may

for she'll disappear
when she's heard enough

and perhaps ferry your fears,
maybe transport your tears,

possibly carry your cares
away.
