Purr'-fect Palls

As I was coming down the winding stairs I saw some desperate kittens and their scared stares My steps halting and hovering,  alighting  in a  careful feat Making  sure not to scare them, I went down gently  on my feet. Swarmed by a litter of kittens, rubbing me with their sides and  tails Caressing them softly, I recalled some yester years  tales Of some wild cats and kittens that lived  with strange ears But gentle and kind, in the  woods of a village for hundred years . They were very friendly and  helpful, mingling  with  flair Rolling and rollicking around each other, they saw a  big flare.  Pussy footing and pawing their way with caution, as if on a beat They strode to inform the villagers  with a hurried  beat . The flare became brighter  and bigger and it  stayed The cats and kittens  rushed to bring  the folks to a safe  place and  remained  staid In a huddle they all  moved, bound by their love cord Mewing and purring along to safe haven, the feline  dearies  struck  a chord. ___ For more of such content follow us on Social Media:
