Kitty In a Soup

Kitty In A Soup Our town has its usual vertical ups and downs and horizontals One day a gray kitten still finding its way Discovered a long cylindrical corridor A seeming hallway or in its tiny mind Another place to play and hide This narrow hallway however ran up and down Not side to side in the usual horizontal way Gravity took hold of the situation And pulled the kitten down the drainage pipe Stuck in the dark hole, the cat began to cry for help It went from mew to MEW! Soon giant men arrived in the loud trucks Two thin long sticks like chopsticks were employed The extrication was a delicate operation Kitty was pulled out exactly like a tiny shrimp From a deep dish soup in the oriental restaurant Mew was all it knew to thank the men in rubbery red suits Who sirened down the street after the rescue
