Little Fluffy was just a kitten
Not even fully grown
So it was quite a shock when
I heard my poor Fluffy groan

I found her on my computer desk
Belly up next to the lamp
She lay so still I gasped
And then my hands grew damp

Her breath came in tiny heaves
Thank God she hadn't died yet
"Where's the phone" I hollered
I have to call the vet!"

I dialed Doggie 911
And was promptly put on hold
Shaking now, I touched her cheek
It was quickly growing cold!

And then a miracle occurred
I could 'hear' my kitten speak
I leaned down next to the keyboard
Her voice was getting weak!

She coughed with such sorrow
"what's wrong" I asked in meows
all I heard from Fluffy was
"I shouldn't have eaten that mouse"

One of  these days someone is going to repay you for these poems with the trick endings.... however for now I will just chuckle along with you. Well done.

Fluffy is now
feeling fine
nursed back to health
by Poet deVine

The cure you see
was unusally sweet
to cure that ache?

Hi Sharon,

Way too cute and at 5:30am the laughter just might get me in to trouble!  

Love, Cerenity

ROFL at Sunshine's question and deVine's reply. . .LOL     (I think that Sunshine got that it was the computer mouse. . .LOL)

But, I was thinking. . .they have those robotic dogs now. . . surely, they will be having robotic cats soon. . . will computer mice be safe???

I enjoyed this to much. Where they running wild last night? loved it...

Life is to short to not appreciate all of nature's gifts. As I sit & ponder in awe - quietly.

I could tell something was coming, I wasn't sure quite what
until I neared the last stanza
and nearly fell on my butt

Delightful piece. Doggie 911...very cute!!!
