A Feline Haunting
She shuddered at leaving behind
her mortal clutter.
Nevertheless, off she popped,
and her in her old nightie;
her hated daughter-in-law
still rattling in her ghostly mind.
She had interred a succession
of deceased cats. Psychic clumps
had accumulated
where spectral moggies muddled.
Tiddles and Ginger,
Marmalade and Blackie,
were filed away
in their small brass urns.
Soon, predictably,
her vengeful ghost
swept over to her
in-laws house;
a women with allergies,
where, also predictably,
Tiddles, Ginger,
Marmalade, and Blackie
drove a nervous woman
to an early grave.
