Cat Chase

 

 

Through the kitchen kitties run,

Slipping on the linoleum

Running faster on the floor,

Chase each other out the door.

 

Through the hall the cats did dash,

Jewel rammed Ayla as they crashed,

Jewel kept running, Ayla fell,

Penny followed Jewel’s smell.

 

Round the sofa, Jewel did run,

Just as Penny cat had sprung,

Over the recliner Penny went,

Just to keep up with Jewel’s scent.

 

Penny passed Jewel by short cut,

A sinking feeling in Jewel’s gut,

With perfect Penny dead ahead,

Jewel starts chasing her ahead.

 

Round and round the kitties go,

Darting quickly to and fro,

Forward, backward, wherever they went,

Neither losing the other’s scent

 

Through the study kitties race

Never giving up the chase,

Over and around the bed,

Now, Jewel is the cat ahead.

 

Through the hall and out the door

Crashing to the basement floor.

Penny strolls straight for her wish

She starts eating from Jewel’s dish.
