Blockade Runner

The brick wall that kept the dogs in
Also caused them to make a din
Whenever  the cat would run or  walk  across the wall
But the bricks were much too tall
for them to reach that  furry feline  ball

The nimble cat would pay them no mind
She knew  the dogs couldn't jump that high
They would bark and growl and even sigh
At this creature of the feline kind

The cat with coat of gray and white
always found great delight
Whenever she walked across those bricks
And watched  those mutts perform their jumping tricks
Once in a while she'd stop and   take a bow
And give the canines  a  great big  meow

For: Briton Riviere - contest

Quite a thrilling backyard scene here! I like your condescending cat and ever reaching dogs. Your parting thoughts are even more hilarious than the first!
