Smitten
The triangular face of my kitten,
Wide-set eyes and snub nose, has me smitten.
She has beauty so mild
That, like mother to child,
I am bonded--the parent bug's bitten!
And it's lasted ten years, for I found
That just having this foundling around
Brought me endless delight--
So the bonding's still tight,
Since she captured my heart at one bound.
