Poor Rommy is dumb. <br />He's also blue - a Russian Blue. <br />A dumb blue, I s'pose you'd call him. <br />(It took him three months <br />to work out the cat flap) <br /> <br />He's also beautiful, <br />beautiful and idle, <br />idle and aristocratic, <br />aristocratic and really dumb <br /> <br />with tall ears, <br />whisker pads to die for <br />and a silvery coat <br />that could grace the finest opera house. <br /> <br />His fur is thick and soft, <br />soft and warm, <br />warm and everywhere. <br />(I am forever picking him <br />out of the vacuum head) <br /> <br />His given name is Romenov - <br />Koshka Silver Romenov. <br />His pedigree reaches <br />from the end of his nose <br />to the tip of his perfect tail. <br /> <br />Rommy's purr is persisitant - <br />a powerful basso profundo. <br />It fills the house <br />from morn till night <br />in quadraphonic hi fidelity <br /> <br />Rommy may be dumb, <br />but he's certainly not stupid. <br />He's fed and watered, <br />cuddled and cared for - <br />a thoroughly contented cat.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-blue-of-little-brain/
