A/N: yeah, another poetry chapter. What can I say, I got bored at the Laundromat.
Zaphia was still out at class when Mistoffelees came home. Her day was split neatly in two by a long break which meant her classes ran later than Misto's, who had a solid chunk of classes from morning to afternoon. With a small sigh the tomcat threw himself onto the couch and almost immediately curled into a ball. He may have been a morning person in general, but he was still half-feline…getting through an entire day without napping was a near impossibility.
As soon as his eyes closed a rustling sound caused a furry ear to twitch. Slowly he opened one brown eye a sliver.
On the table, weighted down with a small plate, was a piece of paper. Curiously Misto took a closer look.
On the plate were a few cookies. He picked one up…they smelled fresh. Had Zaphia actually made cookies during her break between classes today?
Nibbling on one (they were chocolate chip) Mistoffelees picked up the piece of paper, expecting it to be a note. His eyes opened a little wider to see a poem written on the page.
"Dash and dazzle,
Flash and spin.
Perfect magic-
Dance again.
Do you know why?
Why I laugh,
Why I cry?
When I've got you close,
When you're not nearby?
Do you know the reason
For the gleam in my eye?
Dash and dazzle,
Flash and spin.
Perfect magic-
Dance again.
Can you see?
Why I blush
So easily?
Why I giggle
So readily?
Can you see the reason
I feel so happy?
Dash and dazzle,
Flash and spin.
Perfect magic-
Dance again.
Don't you know?
Why these warm
Feelings flow
From a heart that is full
Though my words are slow?
It's because you melted it-
Didn't you know?
Dash and dazzle,
Flash and spin.
Perfect magic-
Dance again.
Have you figured it out?
What this silly little rhyme
Is finally about?
It's about my love,
Mistoffelees- no doubt
You knew that. Still,
In my joy I must shout:
Dash and dazzle,
Flash and spin!
Perfect magician-
Dance again!"
