• It was a quiet sunny afternoon.
    I was sitting in my front yard,
    enjoying the day;
    When I see Sniffles,
    a beautiful Persian cat,
    run out into the street.
    As I yelled,
    "NOOOO!"
    Sniffles turned around.
    Our eyes locked,
    and Sniffles winked.
    Then as a truck was coming down the road,
    Sniffles turned toward it,
    and jumped.
    I watched in slow-motion,
    as my 7 year old cat,
    turned to liquid goo.
    Limbs flew all over the street,
    and I just sat there,
    shocked.
    The driver swerved,
    and got out of the car.
    She freaked out,
    and broke down crying.
    I ran over to her,
    to calm her down.
    But I couldn't help
    shedding a tear,
    as I saw my cat's decapitated head,
    show me a wink.
