My Catnee

My Catnee

                               Great
                             Catnee
                         My sweet pet
                  accompanied me
                 Christmas gifts to get.
             I put the Christmas tree
               at corner of garden gate.
             close to my cat’s territory
          to get spectacular view at best.

       Beneath the tree all the gifts I spread.
          Following traditional norm.
            Golden stars are put on shed       
                   Strings of light are hung from
                      fence of flower bed.
                         No chance of storm
                                  predicted.
                                    And Mom 
                                        Said.

           On branch I hang jingle bells to ring.
              Catnee was watching all along.
                On her neck I tied a string
                    with bell to ring ding-dong
                     She cheered on running.
                     With Christmas song
                            went evening,
                                 so long
                                   fine.

            Next morning Catastrophe shattered all.
               Cute Catnee made big massacre.
                  stars are torn, strings of light fall
                     She chewed gift wrapper
                        kicking bells as ball.
                        messy all over.
                          As I call,
                              toddler
                                 crawls.
