A Dark and Stormy Night

It was a dark and stormy night, Without respite of beam of light. Dark clouds obscured the stars and moon. All light was banished from the room. The thunder rolled and lightning flashed. In that moment I stood aghast. There in the darkness, illuminated, A shadow in the darkness waited. Large yellow eyes stared through the rain, As claws scraped at the window pane. I stood there frozen to the floor, And then I rushed toward the door. I grabbed the door and threw it wide, As the figure rushed inside. With a towel upon my lap, I dried my poor drenched kitty cat.
