When I was born my mother didn't want me

tossed me aside like rotten debris

They tried again and gave it another go

but she had me by the scruff of the neck

swinging me to and fro

They found me a foster mum

I was put in a basket with a cat called Misty

She'd just lost her kitten

but with me, she was smitten

She cocooned me in her fur

and sighed a contented purr

as I suckled 'til wanted no more

From then on we were inseparable

Everyone found us adorable

I was a little ball of fluff

who liked to say 'woof'

She'd often give me a cuff

but never too rough

they came up with a name for me

what else could it be but Lucky

A house is a place to keep stuff

It becomes a home when filled with love

I'm home
