A little black ball of fuzz
As cute as cute can be
She mostly knows what she's at
She's asleep on a setee
But the home that shs's in
Its not her human's flat
She's pinched a space on a neighbours sofa
She's the house pirate cat
Her human family call her Raven
The Jellicles call her Dollar
Her fur is black with the odd white hair
And a nice blue tinkly collar
She is not the biggest of cats
No scars mark her face
Fighting happens to everone else
Conflict ain't her way
With a staccato meow
She was let in
Purring with thanks
as she was soaked to the skin
A cat in the rain
Is the sorriest sight
and a dry comfy couch
Is often just right.
All that was then
and this is the now
She lies asleep
with her mind in the clouds
Flying with birds
and catching each one
Swooping upon mice
No end to the fun
Somewhen soon she must awake
And to home she'll make her way
For soon her stomach will pipe up
And hunger has it's say
She doesnt want to up and shift
Out into the storm
Until then she's happy here
Where she's dry and warm
