Special Throw-Back Sunday Poem: "Yo Quiero Una Gata"

My senior year of high school, I decided I wanted a cat. Really, really bad. We'd had dogs before, but I wanted a cat. So, to convince my parents to get me one, I decided to write a poem. In Spanish. And, hey, it worked! :) I got my KuKu kitty a few weeks later and then we got two more cats in the subsequent years...turns out my whole family loved cats too. Now, as always, I'm not saying this poem is any good lol...but that's what makes it fun. Hopefully. Enjoy! (This was really hard to type in Spanish btw!)

Yo quiero una gata.
Una vaca gata
con los ojos verdes.
Yo quiero una gata.
Una negra gata
con se llama "Mojo".
Yo quiero una gata.
Una bonita gata
con largo pelo.
Yo quiero una gata.

I want a cat.
A cow cat
with green eyes.
I want a cat.
A black cat
with a name "Mojo".
I want a cat.
A pretty cat
with long hair.
I want a cat.
