The Flying Calico

She leaped off the top of the refrigerator Through the air Only to reach over to the portable washer Where her food was positioned right there. Thud.... The resonating sound just startled me So I assumed that Something fell to the ground. Big mistake! I never realized that she pounced And abruptly stopped to grab a morsel to eat, Only to be scolded For something so dangerous indeed.... Could have hurt herself, especially her head. Instead, a little wiggle of her hip Accentuated by the patch of grey fur On her right hind Indicated that she was not hurt at all And that Samii was just fine.
