Cheese-Carrying Cat

The Cat entered the room
Carrying cheese in its mouth
And fire in its long carved tail
	
One could see cheese dripping away
With saliva running like the torrent streams
A rapturous welcome invaded the room

Blinded by the aroma of the cheese
The fire-carrying tail was a mystery
And so every man became a victim

Thanks, dear. Very short poem but loaded with a whole theme of political issues. Solomon
