Mouschi and Moortje
Moortje was left behind
(Anne Frank's poor sweet feline)
It'd be hard to keep her
plus without her, cheaper
--to take care of the folks
but she'd miss Anne's soft strokes
--and all her loving care
though they were not aware...
...They'd never meet again
yet Mouschi's safe within
their secret annex place
(in Peter's attic space)
they could've been cat-friends
not long, before it ends
Do kitties understand
the suffering of man?
My cat knows when I'm sad
comforts me, til I'm glad
My heart's depressed for Anne :(
and their doomed hiding plan
(but previous to that
I'm sad she lost her cat)
