Old Lady, Sadly Departed"

Her imprint, left on my embroidered frame,

Many a time it has happened,

But this is the last.

My plumpness supporting her frail back

As she napped on the sofa,

With TV on full blast.

Sometimes I feel I was her only support,

Me and that TV.

Blasted thing.

Never saw how it gave comfort,

But for her it did.

Suppose it brought people into her home.

Didn’t happen near enough.

For real, that is.

So that I’m glad that contraption

Did a good job.

I hope I did too.

Goodbye Gladys

She left me running again.

Wasteful, old bat.

Lucky she wont have to foot the bill this time

And go without again.

Shame that cat never starved.

Fat, feline parasite

Who puts a litter tray in the bathroom?

And then leaves me on??

HOT!

Steam and cat piss,

RANK!

And I’ve got mould.

She never cleans.

Arthritis

Excuse!

So now I continue to run,

Probably for a long time,

Until someone comes.

Good riddance Gladys.

I try to keep her warm.

Again.

But she has gone cold.

Woven around her fragile frame

Lifeless,

Both of us.

Once there were three

Me, Daniel and Gladys,

But now

We are alone.

Only his scent remains

Even after all these years.

I cocoon her.

Now she’s gone,

On her longest journey.

I will not miss her,

For I still shroud her

‘Til someone finds her.

Good night Gladys

Lie safe.
