A Tiny Me-Ow

Thunderstruck, by lightning's flash Pitter-patter, as he made his dash For shelter from the gathering storm A mere ten steps was he from his dorm When a tiny me-ow froze him in his tracks Then the heavens opened; dare he go back Yet one more me-ow softened his firm resolve At moments like this, character evolves He swept the kitten up into his arms He, deluge-drenched; she, unharmed Reached his dorm, for all the world a human puddle Kitty purring contentedly, wanting only to cuddle His roommates teased him; he didn't care Each new me-ow a reward for taking a dare

Nice one Gershon. Just a hunch but I think you may have a softer side. Well written, enjoyed thoroughly! RT

A beautiful moment...I can feel that cuddle and the warm moment. Surely his little tongue is lapping at milk too. And I bet those other guys are melting a bit...perhaps.

Great point about softening the roommates up a bit. Touche, Kim! ~ Me-ow and me
