The Cat Who Drowned the Mouse
On a blustery cold day
Before a terrible snow storm
Such an awful thing happened
Unbeknownst to me.
After celebrating at a Christmas Party
To my surprise
I will never know why
This cat-and-mouse chase
Wreaked havoc throughout my place.
I was stunned and shocked in disbelief;
If someone could only see
The look on my face.
With a diligent swipe of her paw
It went kerplunk
Into the plastic floral glass
Positioned on the kitchen table.
Had no idea my hero Samii was capable
Of doing such a devious deed
How she was so determined to do so.
I took one look inside the glass
One-third full of Polar Seltzer Raspberry Lime
I screamed in awe, "Oh, My God!"
Not a single movement.
How she thought of this tactic
I will never understand
But, she really did it!
She truly deserves a special treat
For her magnificent feat!
