Twas the day before Monday, and all thru the house 4 creatures were stirring, the other passed out... (Hint... The kittehs and I are awake) The laundry was stacked, on the dryer with care In hopes someone else, will put away (to be fair)... The kittehs rambunctious, in hopes of a treat Meowing and purring, running round my bare feet... And I in my sweatpants, and them in their..um..furs Had settled on the sofa, for Close Encount- ers... (Of the third kind, on Sundance) When out on the porch I heard such a clatter I mosied up from my spot to yell whas da matter!.. (I got Cajun all a sudden) Away to the window I did sneak like a fox To spy me a squirrel, sitting near my deck box... The breeze gently blowing, the sun barely shone I looked around quietly, seeing if he were lone.. When to my wondering eyes did in fact appear Not a lone squirrel, but two (or three) with no fear... One eating an acorn, and two ogling my tree Its still not decorated, or in my home yet you see... I whispered, mewed, and called the kittehs by name To get them in on the action, for Cat Hall of Fame?.. Come Blue! Come Nami! Come Mama! Come quick! Two are quite scrawny, but one sure thick!... (The squirrels, not the cats, lol...they ALL fat) To the top of the deck box! To the steps if you can! Chase away! Chase away! Blue...be a man!... (Hes the chickenshit thats scared of outside) So Nami takes off with a squirrel in her sight Shes pawwing and jumping and trying to bite... Shes slipping & sliding up and down that pine tree Evidently forgetting shes declawed, you see... Im cracking up laughing with tears on my cheeks Nami looks angry, its squirrel meat she seeks!... Mama cat casually sitting on the front step Ran round the yard once, and has no more pep... Blue in the doorway checking things out Chattering, wondering, and having his doubt... Enjoying the show now, giving not even a care Hoping Saint Squirrel-Catcher soon will be there.. But no Santa did come, and the squirrels got away And we all gave up hope, at least for today... So we picked ourselves up and came back inside Snuggled up on the couch, all 4 yawned wide... What an adventurous morn and a glorious day Merry Christmas to yall, sending smiles your way... From my poetic thoughts to your Facebook feed May you wake up so blessed, as me, indeed!
