Notes About The Poem

Tawny Tabor Taunts

Pretty, tawny, tabby Tabor 
purring   snuggler,
full of  curiosity and play 
He saw the door ajar for a fast getaway
His golden eyes gleamed
Jail break; as he dreamed


Ditching out as fast as a jet
The backyard pond he couldn’t forget 
full of lily pads and Koi. ”Oh, what fun!”
Sneaky pitter-patter paws sly as a cat      “I’ll take one.”
Tiny tadpoles hiding under the lily pads away from the Koi 
A little twitch happy tail, pawing, splashing the cool water to catch the Koi 
From out of nowhere showed
Kung Fu tempered toad 
pounced on Tabor’s back.  “H-i-s-sss......!”
Feeling frustrated and foiling his plans couldn’t catch him now

 
Tawny tabby Tabor taunting tiny tadpoles and tantalizing tasty tempered toad
