Cat and Mouse

Late night I come
Dog greets and barks
He chases, I run

Next night I come
Ready with sticks
I chase, he runs

Days go Nights come
Dog plays cat and mouse
I chase or run

Then came the Night I dread
The Dog descends the stairs
Unaware I climb the stairs

We greet face to face
Scared to death
I run down

The Dog darts above

Well, that would not have been my luck. One would have to bite the other. Good write, Charles

This is very funny, Suresh! Really like the way they both bolt after coming "face to face." Guess neither one was prepared for a bout. Very cool poem! Love, Carolyn
