On The Prowl

         On The Prowl

I was on the trail of a cat
Tiptoeing in its feline tracks
Bending where the trail led
Through the woods to a river bed

Curving up ahead once more
By a landmark I've seen before
Full circle it came to this, then
Ere I finally stopped to listen

To a lightly trodding step
Behind me slightly, to the left
I whipped around and down I fell
Landing, thinking what the hell?

In wonder on my back I lay
Tackled by my erstwhile prey
I resigned myself to second place
As kitty triumphantly licked my face
