A Cat's Life

A beast of brown, white and orange rummages around his empty lair,
Hearts and minds explode at the sight of his bright and shiny glare.
The pitter-patter of miniature feet so quiet you could just hear,
His eyes glisten with innocence but are also filled with fear.

Making peace with such a being most people could only dream of,
To tame them gives you powers of combined kindness and love.
For it seems felines are seeping with evil while K-9's are blessed as angels,
Wrapping himself in the shape of a small, edible bagel.

Time stands still but he is still energising,
Playing around, his mouth ready to bite with his body flying.
His skittish limbs jerk backwards with the sight of his rodent,
And he sees that this creature is now his new opponent.
