Poem Title:
Poem
He opened the window in much practiced silence If somebody heard there would likely be violence He’d been here before and endured quite a spat For when he broke in he encountered a cat The cat ran him ragged but he never knew That things would get worse because ‘one cat’… was two They’d caught him off guard for he’d come unprepared But now he’s forewarned so those cats should be scared So pushing the curtains aside he climbed in His flashlight, for now, was tucked under his chin He listened for footsteps which might make him run And switched on his flashlight to seek out some fun He didn’t want money, nor high value loot He’d come to give kittens a feel of his boot And then in his beam there were eyes shining bright He told them, “You cats won’t defeat me tonight. “Last time I came I found cats in this house Who ganged up on me with an overgrown mouse. This time, it’s different… I’ve brought a big sack So soon you’ll be gone and you ain’t coming back.” Raisin said, “Mister, we’re taking you down.” The man heard, “Meow” and that caused him to frown “Don’t be mewing at me you dumb little moggie You’re getting a home that is chilly and soggy.” Rum flicked a paw in an ‘over there’ motion The man with the flashlight said, “Quit the commotion.” But he didn’t know that the ‘dumb little moggie’ Had mewed, “Turn around… meet our dumb massive doggie.” In a moment of silence the man wasn’t ranting And that is perhaps how the man heard the panting A young German Shepherd is still quite a beast The man just saw teeth that looked ready to feast Walnut’s tongue lolloped, his mind in a muddle How can a man, indoors, stand in a puddle This quivering human was one tragic sight But Walnut was good… and good dogs don’t bite So, yes, he was good but the man didn’t know it And Walnut decided that he shouldn’t show it He feigned a mad growl and emitted some slobber And local police got a call… from the robber!
