Chasing Cardinals

Chasing Cardinals We could see cute cat chasing a Cardinal Like they usually do and always will Trying to catch Cardinals with their claws With razor sharp edges just like saws. Cat kept running and thrashing around While Cardinal did not make a single sound For his life was fearful and also afraid As he hid there sitting in the dark shade. Cat came back to attack Cardinal again When all the wild excitement did begin Could hear cardinal and all of his cries When cat decided to try and terrorize. After Cardinal had quite a restless day He finally just up and then flew away Leaving cat all bewildered and dazed At Cardinal's great ability was amazed. Up whole situation cat started to size And of course in the end would realize Cardinal was asleep and hidden in his bed Cat chose to chase rowdy rat instead.
