Notes About The Poem


Full of Mischief Pets At Christmas Contest

Kitty, Kitty 
          where is my sweet snugly Kitty? 
               You're full of mischief, but witty;
                    my furry fur ball so pretty.

     You're so pampered with chasers and teasers;
          smarty skitter critters catnip cat please-errs. 
     You love to hide and stick out your paw
          striking at anything that goes by, not to mention
               purposely lying down in my way for attention.

     It's Christmas and we've brought in a Christmas tree
          into our home and underneath the tree,
               a pile of beautifully wrapped presents waiting to be opened!

     You've claimed it and won't let it be.

     It stands tall up against the wall 
          with balsam pine scent branches that call 
               to you. You sink you claws into the scaly bark 
                    and climb and hide within the branches.

     A glitter reflection of light catches your attention,
          those little paws can't resist slapping 
               at the blinking 
                     lights, silver tinsel, and colorful ornaments.

     Oh, Kitty, you've taken one too many chances. 
          You've gotten too far-out and bent the branch 
               losing your balance, 
                    toppling the Christmas tree causing an avalanche
                         of colorful ornaments to the floor! 

     Frighten, you zoomed out of the room
          and hid under the bed.  

     Kitty, Kitty 
          where is my sweet snugly Kitty?
