THE BROWN CAT

I curl my tail – as I purr gently to get to sleep

I squeeze my eyes shut, as I let out a yawn.

I leap out of my bed to catch a treat,

I’m a Fish – Lover, Treat – Catcher,

I’m a Fur – Cleaner, Night – Stalker,

Claw – Sharpener,  Street – Padder.

I’ll walk elegantly through the moonlight.

And wail at the moon.

My fur, as soft as snow,

My fur is the color of a smooth,chocolate brownie.

I’ll sneak home, sly as a fox.

I’ll slip indoors through my cat flap.

My glistening, leaf green eyes are always alert.

I wait, patiently, for the sun to rise.
