Dreaming of the Trees

There once was a cat named Joline Who lived behind the screen Sitting on her ledge With her tail swinging over the edge As she chews on her toy Enjoying the noise Wishing for a mouse To chase around the house The view is a tease As she dreams of the trees Birds flying with ease Squirrels roaming free The fun she would have in the tree Her fur ruffled in the breeze Dreams of climbing high Seeing only the blue sky Someday it will be her up in the tree Finally giving in to the nightly plea Wanting to just run free As she lays down to dream
