Dear Jeopardy….
You came into our lonesome life-
So helpless and So weak
(You stirred the embers of my heart though-My heart, YOU began, to beat)
What was it like to care for You-To Love A tiny orphan heart?
You and I learned how to make formula! (You and Reno learned how to Fart!)
Silly looking orphaned kitten-
(came in a smiley face bag to me)
When we first saw your eyes, they seemed to say
“Please, Please Help, I’m In Jeopardy!”
We spent a lot of time together at first-You, Me and the Cow Fur Glove
Thank you for being so brave and strong! For growing up & giving us Your Love
I hope that wherever you are now- You know what you meant to us
I hope You know How much we adored you-(We Knew that You adored Us)
How Were we to know you’d be taken so young?
By a cold, black, heart without a beat?
If We could go back-We would save you-Though now, I must admit, our defeat
I was Terrified that HE would hurt you-that You would disappear just like the Others
But I couldn’t keep you inside forever-(You’d already shredded half the covers!)
We didn’t know that Evil walked amongst us -Again!- that day
That HE was waiting In the wings, to claim Your life
Your crime, (so it seems), was to play too much-
(And catch too many of His damn mice)
“Beware of the Bad Man” We should’ve said-
“His vengeance is Sharp & cold as ice
He thinks He’s the “King of the World“, Jeopardy
…..He’s terrorized us all now, once or twice-
But we just Sailed along down the River Denial
Refusing to see that evil just below the Ice
(I’d baked him Cookies at Christmas-for Christ sakes!!)
Killing our pets? Well, that- just wouldn’t be nice!
Oh!! We Are So Sorry -Sweet little Jeopardy!
(I Did Hear You- When You Cried Out!)-
I’m Sorry that I didn’t come and Rescue You-
I’m Sorry, now, we ever had a doubt
We didn’t know the Jeopardy that your life was in!
That It’s black soul had chosen Then to end your life-
But I Swear that We will avenge you -
Jeopardy- I Swear That Upon My life-
Silly orphan kitten- (delivered in a smiley face bag to me)
You made us smile, you made us love
You were Our
Jeopardy
