Kitten face peeking from under the bed.
Looking for fun - finds trouble instead.
Eyes, usually golden, now seeming black,
glitter like jet from behind the coat rack.
Stalking her prey, the jungle cat poses -
leaps to attack... a bouquet of roses!
Lucky for her it's printed on the sheets!
Come here, sillypuss, let's get some sleep!
