Death Finds Us, Unwilling


Rascal

Janet Leigh was just not finished yet when she composed TAFFY BY YOUR SIDE. There was more to say, as she reflected on her own furkinder; Rascal--our little man, and Contessa Chi Chi--Tweety-peety-piety-pootie Tess. My daughters had given Taffy a nick name too--Taffer Dack Malleenus Darkeenus. Ah yes.

Glenn

Glenn’s furkid Taffy - may she rest in peace - continued:

Your furkids’ passing
put the fear of God in me
mine will pass on, too!

Thought tore itself up
from bowels through heart to head-
May they bypass death!

Life-end makes precious
living full with passions ON-
Then screech to fast halt.

When our light goes out
we rise to eternal life-
Where nothing is - but Light.

Janet Leigh
