NONSENSE VERSE

A Tabby in Winter

I know that it’s confusing; I know it’s really weird

But winter has arrived again, my old greybeard

We’ve had this conversation at least twenty times before

The weather is the same outside every household door

I’ll tell you something else that’s oddly passing strange

It takes more than thirty seconds for a season’s change

Letting you out now, sir, you’d only meet your death

You’d freeze beneath that hungry coyote’s breath

Get off the counter! Don’t shred the couch!

Use your litter box! Don’t be a grouch!

Go groom yourself, curl up and try to get more sleep

Because out there, my friend, the snow drifts are so deep
