Mistake!

Never make the mistake
of looking at the Lost and Found page
on Craig's List.
A sadder thing you'll never find.

Sample subject headings read:
LOST!!! Male Jackapoo SoFierce
missing cat (neptune's net)
Lost - Two white doves
Lost Cat/Gato Perdido - Grey and White

Messages include identifying marks and habits,
different colored collars,
and where they were last scene.
Honest unaffected cries to the community at large:
"Please help me find my dog!!!"
"If you have any info, please contact me.  We miss her."

These messages tug at my heart.
I've lost cats.  Not Zaphod.
Normally I skim the internet,
here I take in every word.

Have you seen me?
