Up in a Tree

A little Bird sat

Eyes twinkling darkly as he stared down at a Cat

The Cat's mouth was open

As if he was tasting the Air

But the bird only watched

Not giving a care

For the Tree was too tall for the Cat to climb

And even if so

He would not make it in time

For the Dog across the Street

Had finally broken free

And the little Bird watched

From way up in the Tree
