I want him to have another living summer,
to lie in the sun and enjoy the douceur de vivre --
because the sun, like golden rum in a rummer,
is what makes an idle cat un tout petit peu ivre--
I want him to lie stretched out contented,
revelling in the heat, his fur all dry and warm,
an Old Age Pensioner, retired, resented
by no one, and happiness in a beelike swarm
to settle on him -- postponed for another season
that last fated hateful journey to the vet
from which there is no return (and age the reason),
which must soon come -- as I cannot forget.
