A Poem for Thursday

Thumbelina

This is the cat

with the exta toes.

With bites on her ears

and a bite on her nose.

Who suddenly comes

and suddenly goes.

And nobody knows where she's from.

This is the cat

who winds round your feet,

And sits on your lap

'til the crossword's complete.

Who lies in the grass

to escape from the heat.

Then swishes her tail....and she's gone!
