MY CAT OF TEN YEARS AGO


Pale red gums,

Big fluffy silky body,

Lie in the sunken middle of the bed,

Staring intelligently with bright Asian eyes

Breathing with a quiet noise,

Making known its presence,

With its giant tail wiggling like falling ribbons in the air,

Slowly licking milk;

That “Sukulili momoli”.

  2. Hahaha lol! The picture up there...that's exactly how the cat looked like. So topped with intelligence, how could i possibly forget it?lol!
    Anyway the last part ''...slowly licking that sukulili momoli'', means 'slowly licking that silly milk'. 'Sukulili momoli', is indian. 'sukulili', means silly, and 'momoli', milk. That was just to add a drop of variety. Lol!
    Thanks for the comment Miss Vuha.
