Tale of the Silvered Cat

A silvered cat in the moonlight walked.
Looking for some food to eat.
Unaware, he was being stalked.
Ah, then he smelled a great fishy treat!

Behind the bushes he went........
Not aware of the raccoon behind him.
That silvered cat so driven by hunger and scent, 
Did not hear the raccoon's paws, closing in!

Oh, Regina, glad you loved it. Don't tell anyone, so did I. The poet liking the Pomm is foremost. It's a sense of completeness. I did come here to write. Have No interest in being top commenter. My vision limits my time on line. I type like a loser. Buu prefer making meaningful comments, Thank you for being around so often To God be the Glory, Pangie

Yikes, what an ending. Are racoons a problem over there? Tom

Yes, Tom...I saw an opossum once. Lots of bunny rabbits.. The original ending was too graphic...I changed it.)) Thanks for your fidelity in reading me, St. Thomas! Pangie
