Divine Nine

Here’s idiomatic lines for nine. Why does a stitch in time just save nine? Why’s possession nine points of the law? Indeed, why did the cat have nine tails? Perhaps it’s because it had nine lives? Why would someone go the whole nine yards? Should cats and dogs be cats and canines? Is this poem a nine days’ wonder? If not, then I will be on cloud nine! written 13 May 2021 checked with Poetry Soup syllable counter
