Come Home Topsy Mopsy Moo

by Sarrinah aged 11

When I was just about to turn four,
my parents took me to this house.
And in this house there was a room,
And it was filled with kittens,
and my parents told me to pick just one.
I then looked around and chose Tim,
I hadn’t seen you just yet.

Then all of a sudden, Mum saw you
My beautiful Topsy mopsy moo.
I saw you and I fell in love,
“Mummy can we have two?”
I said in awe.
“No honey let’s go” she said
Distraught

Just as I got in the car,
Mum then ran back into the house
An came out with you.
“They said it was a boy,
So yes Mimi moo,
We will have two!”
On the ride
“What shall they be called?” Mum asked me
“Topsy and Tim!” I said
“But they are both boys,” dad said
“No there not” I said
I just had a feeling you were a girl I guess

It took a week for Mum to realise,
I was in fact correct.
So Topsy and Tim it was I guess.

Now to a year later,
You were now two and one day I found
Mum cutting up a big red box
“Mum what are you doing?” I asked
“Topsy is pregnant” she replied
I was confused I didn’t understand

Three months later,
You were in your box with a kitten
I picked them up and ran to mum
“MUM!” I screamed
“What, MIMI WHAT IS THAT”
“It’s Topsy’s kitten!”
“MIMI PUT IT BACK YOU CAN’T TOUCH THEM YET!”
I walked to you then and put her back,
I then named it Issey the First

Issey and her sibling,
Then went to live on a farm
And I cried a bit but I moved on.

We then moved to Taplow,
and when I was seven years old
You had Issey the Second, our little boy.
We still have him living with us to this day

Now fast forward a couple of days

You went missing and we don’t know where
And Tim has been sitting by the door,
Meowing waiting for you to come back.
MEOW MREEEOW MEOW!
Day and night
Issey has been crying looking for you,
With his one green eye.
The boys have put their problems between each other,
Aside for you. And dad goes and looks for you
Every day.
Where are you my Topsy Mopsy Moo

I search everyday on every website,
Just for you.
My little Topsy Mopsy Moo.
We have called every shelter in the country
And told them to look for you.

Where are you Topsy?

Topsy went missing on the 21/12/21
Last seen at Staines upon Thames
