Ode to Spot
by Maryann Author IconMail Icon
This is a trubute to Steve Irwin. Steve taught us that people can live in harmony with nature. I decided to borrow a poem from Data of Star Trek: TNG. This is his "Ode to Spot", in honor of his cat.

Ode to Spot
Felis Catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature. Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, a singular development of cat communications that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents, you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion, it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O, Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.




This is a sig that I use often.
