Ginger Cat

Theres a hole over there, that I havent seen before
I could have a big Adventure, if I go in to explore

What would I find? Maybe a well dressed Mouse
Or a gingerbread family baking a House

I could be a Lion in there - big, brave and strong
A ruler of all territory; oh, how I would strut along!

Standing before me, a jazz band of bats
Trapeze artist rabbits, and lots of clockwork rats

Poke my head inside the hole, to see what awaits me there
Ablaze with cartoon characters, playing ludo on a chair

Trumpet playing goldfish, horses placing bets on frogs
Stampeding snails, with Cat food tails, and elephants wearing clogs

I could go over and take a look inside the strange new gap
But the sun is out and Im aSleep - taking one of my hourly Catnaps!

This poem is inspired by watching my Cat Dream, seeing his natural grace, and wondering what it is he Dreams about.
