Old Cliche Or Not Poem by Ima Ryma

I know it is not your fault that
You up and dropped dead from old age.
But it kind of does leave this cat
Wondering about my next stage
Of being stuck here in this house.
You always kept my food locked up,
And I have never seen a mouse
Running around here and so, yup,
Gotta make plans on what to do.
I've gotta find some food no doubt.
I keep looking over at you,
Just lying there, tongue hanging out.

I know that it's an old cliche,
But gonna get your tongue today.
