CAT POET'S CORNER

Kitten Poem

This is a poem inspired while foster-parenting
a litter of orphans for the local Humane Society
.

Sharp little tooth,
Sharp little claw.
Break every rule,
Break every law.
Holler for food,
then take a nap.
Climb up my bare leg;
Purr in my lap.

Play "Pull-the-drawstring",
and "catch-the-shoelace".
Crouching and stalking
with peekaboo face.

Who knows for sure
what goes on in their brain?
Is it mere curiosity
or imperial disdain?

Eyes full of trust;
Hearts full of fun;
kittens must always
scamper and run.
