GREEN EYES

THERE IS A LOVELY BLACK CAT UP OUR ROAD
WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHINY COAT

I CALL HIM BY HIS NAME “JAZZ”
AND HE RUNS DOWN AND CRIES
ROLLS OVER IN THE SUN

HIS LOVELY GREEN EYES SHINING AT ME
AS I STROKE AND TALK TO HIM

HE LOVES TO SIT ON TOP THE CARS
TO KEEP WARM IN WINTER
EVERYONE ADORES THIS CAT

HE JUMPS DOWN OFF THE WALL INTO OUR GARDEN
SITS ON AN OLD TABLE
AND WATCHES ME HANG OUT THE WASHING

THIS CAT IS SPECIAL THERAPY TO ALL PASSING BY
AS YOUNG AND OLD, AND CHILDREN TOO
BEND LOW AND TALK TO HIM
FORGETTING THEIR WORRIES AND TROUBLES
JUST FOR A MINUTE AND OFF THEY ALL GO
