The Final Verse

For Gandalf: a final verse to Pillow.

Deepily, sleepily, the old puss reposes,
contented and quiet, his narrative closes,
no more to leave fur on my pillow.

Are you saying your cat died? I'm sorry to hear it. He looked friendly.

Yes, Gandalf passed away yesterday. He didn't suffer; he just slowed down, slept more and more, and over the last couple of days completely lost his appetite. He went to sleep under the bed and didn't wake up.

I'm sorry to hear about Gandalf. He was a good cat.

The last verse was a lovely memorial, says me. And it sounds like he had a good death. I hope mine is as peaceful...but not as soon.
