483. Our Cats

I stood aghast at such a sight
Our cats have had such a splendid time
They had managed to destroy the living room
But from the look on their faces it wasn’t a crime
No doubt young Snickers had started it all
Giving great care to investigate the plants
Momma Kitty her apparent older assistant
Must have helped to insure their were no ants
Needless to say when the first pot fell
Tumbling from high above the floor
The racket must have been quite exciting
For they succeeded to dump even more
When quite happy with the dirty results
They duo proceeded to get food on their own
They ripped open fifty pounds of kitty food
Spreading every kibble from carpet to entryway stone
Yet not finished they found the cat nip
Gingerly dusting the house just so
When so high they fell fast asleep
No doubt thinking of their escapades we’ve never know
Though when I was about to scold them both
So cute they looked cuddled and fast asleep
I shrugged my shoulders and only smiled
Such a small price to pay to have to clean and sweep
