The window

Will not close,

I feel cold

Down to my toes.

The window

Must be stuck.

How I’ve tried

But still no luck.

The window

Still ajar.

Now I feel

Quite below par.

The window

Will not move

Just like me

Stuck in a groove

The window

Will not shut.

Is my work

Fixed in a rut?

The window,

Open wide.

Do I try

From the outside?

The window

From this view

I can hear

A plaintiff mew

The window

Let me see

A new friend

Who does need me.

The window

Left that way

As my friend

Has come to stay.

(It may rain,

Even snow,

But my friend

Can come and go!)

(It now seems

All I need

Is a friend

A friend to feed)

P.S. sometimes I need a nudge to get me out of the door to go to work. I just look at the cat and remind myself, if nothing else, I need to earn money for cat food!
