Barley Boots

Ballet dancer- ginger cat,
Whiskers-paws-puddie-tat
Sleep all day, damp or cool,
Sunbathe deck-sometimes drool.

Day turns dusk- spring to life.
Call for food, squeal-n-strife.
Twilight peace- rise and shine.
Tummy filled- prowling time.

Renewed strength, ply your craft.
Deck launch- a pussy rocket blast.
Hunt- hide, prey, stroll and stalk
River plains saunter-tom-cat-walk.

Every morning before dawn.
Find mum, tummy-fill-yawn.
Check out house- urgent yawls
Meet-greet, all homebound pals.

Tell of perils-experienced craft.
Nine lives intact- and holding fast.
Time to curl, close sleepy peepers
Drift asleep, till night-dark-deepens.

Daily cycle, start with roar and din
Siamese yawl, fresh food to bring.
Leap from a deck-dangerous high.
Prove cats are dare-devil, want to fly.

Land on feet, then off in a rush.
Chase a bird, yawl and gush.
Watch from bushes, pussy King.
Battle cry intact, make a din.

Stalk and play, moths and mice.
Cross the railway, roll a dice.
Never go far unless you’re sure.
Adventure full night, waits-in-store.
