A Rustle in the Night

I heard a rustling in the night.
It gave me such a terrible fright.
"Is there a monster under my bed?"

Nope—just my silly cat, Fred!

I’ve been there! How about finding an open window, you don’t remember opening after your cat suddenly scurries from the bed. On top of it, a mysterious note from my young daughter, “I love you, but I have to leave…” There was no resolution to this night! No kidding…so many years ago.
