Cat, Crate and Garden Gate<\/p>\n
Charlie watch your back
\naround you there is a cat
\ntracking the backyard.<\/p>\n
Contained in a crate,
\nreleased free into the wild,
\naudibly adept.<\/p>\n
The house cat is free,
\neveryone knows not to tease,
\nAnger a cat, no.<\/p>\n
Never tease a cat
\nDo not get them wet. Water
\ngets them to react.<\/p>\n
Artful and playful,
\nruthless and vengeful. Hey cat,
\ndon’t you smell a rat?<\/p>\n
Even in low light,
\nnear darkness is no problem.
\nGlowing in the dark.<\/p>\n
Anticipate your
\ntrip across the dish. Just don’t
\nenter in the light.<\/p>\n
Hour seven, 3pm
\nCat, Crate and Garden Gate.
\n(form Acrostic\/ 7 Senryu)
\nCharlie the Mayfly.<\/p>\n
