save keyboard klackety-kiss
no creature was stirring
ah sweet peaceful bliss
then thump-whump tippy tap
pitter kitty -pat-pats
meorowy serenade
of two hungry little cats
Their litany opens with
ritual dinner dance
summoning food gods with
tandem ceremonial prance
paw two three four swish
up two three four bump
minor fall, major lift
the arabesque counter jump
gratuitous reminder nips
and clawing of the knees
less of the Grand Guignol
dear brutes if you please
snapping "it's only half past"
you cant' be hungry yet
if I feed you early
that is all that you get
oh, very well, have at it
in life three things abide
death, taxes and needy cats
from them you cannot hide
slipper shuffle scuffle
opening tins with curses
slop slup-glupped into dishes
shuffle back again to verses
nom-nom noise of tucking in
to their stinky fish feasts
post-prandial bathing of
two silky furred beasts
last roundy-round with knead
as they tenderize their beds
twin VW engines snoring
as they rest weary heads
