cat burglar tale

Last night we had a bit of a thrill at 4 in the morning. Rather than just tell the story, I have composed a narrative! :-) Hope you enjoy...

The Cat Burglar
In the dead of the night, when everyone's sleeping,
and no noise is heard, not even a peeping...

A small house in Chandler was quiet and peaceful,
until through the night, sound broke - quite an earful!

I sat up in bed, my heart began racing,
at thoughts of a burglar, I soon might be chasing.

I slipped to the floor, grabbed a bat, said a whispered
"stay there" to my wife - no time even to kiss her.

I crept down the hallway, ready to tangle
with whoever I found - I was ready to mangle!

The house I soon cleared, no sign of them now,
just our cat Charlie, who said hi with "meow."

So I went and turned on all the lights in each room,
looking for signs of what caused that "kaboom"

When at last - the study - I entered and saw it,
disaray on the floor, from an overturned bucket.

The cat had been playing and had made the big clatter
it turns out nothing was really the matter.
