Your Heart's Desire

MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie: Wordle #265


Made with Word Art which I am now addicted to!

Prompt words in red.

Up the steep stairs of wood,

down the hall to the left,

through the second door on the right,

you will obtain your heart’s hidden desire.

Oh, it won't be anything you would expect!

No bricks of gold,

or piles of cash,

not one red cent

will you find.

There’ll be no belly dancers,

nor exotic dishes,

of incredible tastes,

laid out in record number.

Enter the room and wait,

but don’t relax, your heart’s desire will

be as silent as the cat,

as agile as the panther.

Speak of the devil…

The brawny Siamese saunters into the room,

and with one colossal bounce,

and a loud thud,

lands in your lap,

purring.

Now, isn’t that your heart’s desire?

In my close to 60 years of life, I've known many wonderful cats. I'm always sad when they go, but some take it out of me more than others. I had a couple of those in a row and had resolved that after the ones my son and I still have are gone, there will be no more cats.
However, my son and I now live in an old house on the Northeastern plains of Colorado that is prone to mice getting in. We don't want to use poison or cruel traps. My son's twelve-year-old cat is an adept mouser. Sometimes my son manages to get to the mouse before Bart does, and we take it off to a field a few miles away. Other times Bart gets the better of the mouse.
Either way, we've decided that living out here, it's best to have a cat.
Our cats live indoors. We don't want them to become prey for owls or coyotes.
