That Cat

That was one mean mad yellow cat
Someone threw him in the creek
And he didn't want to take a swim

The expression on his face
Was twisted and squinted
I knew, just knew

That at any minute
With bared teeth and sharp claws
He was going to get one and all

Wonderful write, Sara! I have seen that expression and what follows and it is best to steer clear! Love, Robin
