My brown cat Buttercup has always managed. <br />She is what some would call very disadvantaged. <br />She has a birth defect; her back legs do not function. <br />Her oddity could be considered a serious malfunction. <br /> <br />She has a soft gentle meow and a pleasant disposition. <br />She has learned to compensate and has lots of ambition. <br />Her size is small, but her front legs are super strong, <br />She is not stationary; she easily pulls herself along. <br /> <br />She does not need an elevator; her goal is achieving. <br />She receives many double takes from the disbelieving. <br />When it is time to descend down the steep stairway… <br />Watch your step while she leads ahead all the way. <br /> <br />With perfect balance she does a paw stand to behold. <br />She is like an Olympic gymnast as she captures the gold. <br />It is a masterful technique that displays excellence and poise. <br />Don’t hold back; give Buttercup some hand clapping noise.<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/buttercup-2/
