A CAT

A CAT

By the door a cat rested
watching a ball of yarn
slowly gets up and
goes to the barn

there a mouse upon a rail
caught a watchful eye
darted past an out stretched paw
and gave a joyful sigh

bored of tiring games
the cat fell asleep
but kept a watchful eye
for things that creep

awaken by an unknown sound
he runs into the house
there he finds his food
better than a mouse

a bowl of milk he drinks
washes his face
he scurries back to
his favorite hiding place

just a lazy cat
never in a rush
now fast asleep
so be quiet,Hush!
