There was a dear friend in Ohio
Who loved cats as they made her smile
She was happiest when in her lap they sat
Peacefully purring while their fur she pet
Then one cold winter night
She found a wet, lonely dog in the road
Not a person to claim him
So into the car she coaxed
Now her small house is filled
With cats and dogs alike
Each enjoying their wonderful lives
With the lady who has love to share
