Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Old Cliche or Not

I know it is not your fault that

You up and dropped dead from old age.

But it kind of does leave this cat

Wondering about my next stage

Of being stuck here in this house.

You always kept my food locked up.

And I have never seen a mouse

Here running around and so, yup,

Gotta make plans on what to do.

I've gotta find some food no doubt.

I keep looking over at you,

Just lying there, tongue hanging out.

I know that it's an old cliche,

But gonna get your tongue today.
