3418.0. "The name of the kitten was Love" by CSC32::K_KINNEY () Tue Mar 13 1990 13:12

    
    	A friend of mine just sent this little cat poem in the
    	mail to me. I thought it was kinda nice and would pop
    	it out here to share.
    				Enjoy from Kim and Catnippy
    
    
    		The Little Cat Angel
    
    	The ghost of a little white kitten
    	Crying mournfully, early and late,
    	Distracted St. Peter, the watchman,
    	As he guarded the heavenly gate.
    	"Say, what do you mean," said his saintship,
    	"Coming here and behaving like that?"
    	"I want to se Nellie, my missus,"
    	Sobbed the wee little ghost of a cat.
    	"I know she's not happy without me,
    	Won't you open and let me go in?"
    	"Begone," gasped the horrified watchman,
    	"Why the very idea is a sin;
    	I open the gate to good angels,
    	Not to stray little beggars like you."
    	"All right," mewed the little white kitten,
    	"Though a cat I'm a good angel, too."
    	Amazed at so bold an assertion,
    	But aware that he must make no mistake,
    	In silence, St. Peter long pondered,
    	For his name and repute were at stake.
    	Then placing the cat in his bosom
    	With a "Whist now, and say all your prayers,"
    	He opened the heavenly portals
    	And ascended the bright golden stairs.
    	A little girl angel came flying,
    	"That's my kitty, St. Peter!" she cried.
    	And, seeing the joy of their meeting,
    	Peter let the cat angel abide.
    
    	This tale is the tale of a kitten
    	Dwelling now with the blessed above, 
    	It vanquished grim Death and High Heaven
    	For the name of the kitten was Love.
