Return of the Kanukechmi

She scurried throughout the kitchen With her echoing meow Right into the bedroom.... Couldn't imagine what Samii was up to? She started to poke in and around A mound of folded clothes Strategically positioned On the left hand side Of the bed. She kept poking, and poking further But the pile of clothes Collapsed on top of her, Only to find her poking deeper And deeper inside. I could only see That from her hips Back to the tip of her tail With such intensity That her hips Did sway, sway, and SWAY With such force Until she finally got Her catch of the day! She glanced aside at me As if to say: "I will do what you tell me: To obey!" So without hesitation She leaped off my bed And with pride in fulfilling her duty Managed to corner her opponent In the bedroom Beneath the window Towards the bay. Running along the baseboard, From one end to the other end This cat and mouse game Lasted for five minutes or so, As if they were friends at play, But after all that she did The mouse had apparently Outwit her match And must have sneaked Into an unnoticed hole And did finally get away! However, only twenty four hours later, The mouse that got away Was eventually Samii's catch of the day!
