Patsy seemed content <br />to sit in the doorway <br />or on the deck...but <br />still was wary of coming <br />into the house. <br />Maria said 'maybe <br />if we set up her own room, <br />she will feel safe.' <br />So they decided upon <br />the storage room <br />where they found many <br />things left by the previous owner <br />Tony...including a baby crib. <br />Coach <br />'Tony was an 88 year old <br />gay bachelor, I don't even want <br />to think about why he might <br />have a baby crib.' <br />They made up a bed and <br />litter box for Patsy, <br />put Chumly in the back yard, <br />and enticed her into the room <br />with some chicken. <br /> <br />But once they closed the door, <br />Patsy set about whining and crying <br />not letting either of them <br />touch her....Maria knelt down <br />and cooed to Patsy to soothe her <br />and then used her long hair <br />like a toy to get her to play... <br />to forget her cattiness <br />just for a minute... <br /> <br />The gentleness of Maria's voice, <br />the tenderness and patience <br />she used for the little cat... <br />turned Coach on...and suddenly <br />he was swept with passion <br />and threw some blankets down <br />and grabbed Maria and without <br />a word between them they <br />started to make love and Coach <br />was blind with a heat he hadn't <br />felt in a long time and was <br />completely lost in the moment <br />when suddenly Maria <br />started laughing, not gently, <br />but huge guffaws... <br />Coach was completely bewildered <br />and hurt and let down <br />so to speak <br />while Maria continued to laugh <br />then pointed and there sat <br />Patsy in the baby crib <br />staring out through the wooden bars <br />with the most innocent face <br />and completely quiet... <br />watching the two of them go at it... <br />so now Coach couldn't <br />quit laughing and Chumly <br />somehow got in the room <br />and Maria said <br />'Our family is now complete.'<br /><br />Coach Roth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paradise-patsy-comes-to-stay/
