Waiting For Them To Die First

Old age is buying pets --
(is a series of bowel movements)
Accompanied by a cat chorus
at the door. It becomes a decline
Of health, the loss of friends
And time; giving forgetfulness,
Taking all else -- and finally
Life is waiting for your pets to die,
Knowing you will follow;
Only wishing to not precede them
Into rest and to silence.
