Inside – Outside

Chris Hall47 Comments

she’s a little black and white cat
who tippy toes around the house
walking silently then staring out

now she’s in the garden
clawing the old bench
then she prowls around

she climbs on the wall
who’s out there?

there’s no one in the close
and no one in the bushes
where are they?

she’s back in the garden
sauntering and scampering

but soon she’s ready to snooze
suddenly she’s awake
who is it?

there’s almost a squabble
but the other cat as already gone
and quite right too

now it’s back to base
and it’s lunchtime
and lots of purring

a little later
she’s gone back to bed
what a lovely life she has!

  18. I wouldn’t mind my if my neighbors ‘mouser’ just went after mice – too often the cat goes after ‘my’ birdies! Could have been one of three that downed a poor Cardinal bird. 😦
