Poem
ButtercupShalimar was a cat, that was white She was fluffy and furry and real girl girly. One day, in a baskety in the bedrommy, She had six kittiebabies with big, big loud cries . . . Mew mew mew MEW! They all cried and, all the time! And soon they grew grew grew grew and GREW! There were three girl kitties and three boy kitties, too The girl kitties were all sugar and spice sweetness, And their names were SquigglesWigglesGreyKitty, PebblesFluffyWhiteKitty and TickleCuddlesOrangeKitty. The boys were called, DoodlesDafferBrownKitty, WeeblesWonkiSpottedKitty and last PuddlesRascalBlackKitty. The boys were all hoop and holler, you know boys! Well, life for ButtercupShalimar was upanddownable, It was CRAZY keeping track of the six hooligans but she needed a rest outside, so she left them sleeping, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ . . . When ButtercupShalimar came back it was all topsy turfy in the housedippity with the back and forth and up and down of six rough and ready kittiebabies all aroaming unsupervised! She gathered them up and started counting . . . One kitty, two kitty, three kitty, four kitty, five kitty . . . huh "OH MY WHISKERS!" Screamed ButtercupShalimar, "Where is SquigglesWigglesGreyKitty! So they searched the housedippity, they all marched, up and down, around and around, up in the attic and even down in the basement, they yelled, "Has anyone seen SquigglesWigglesGreyKitty?" They mewed mewed to the dog, the bird in its cage, and even a mouse walking by! "Oh dear, oh dear, OH Dear ME, where could she be?" And the five all answered at once, "WE DON'T KNOW, know." All exhausted and dragging their paws they went to the baskety in the bedroomy for a wee rest, And whatdoyouthunk they saw all curled upidy SquigglesWigglesGreyKitty with her head tucked under her paws! So, if you lose a kittiebabie, look in the baskety in the bedroomy closetety, FIRST! ___________________________ August 20, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/ButtercupShalimarCat Copyright Protected, ID 15-702-352-0 All Rights Reserved.
