On a planet primarily made of water
in the state of Colorado with rushing rivers, flowing from the mountain.
Wild Bobcats
lapping up the winter water flowing down the mountainside.
Flowing
near the town of Greeley.
next to the university is a home
with a thirsty kitty. A small fountain
Water sprinkling
jets into a pool.
The perfect refreshment for the tiny wannabe Snow Leopard
staring with crossed eyes.
Drooling
a bit,
Fluffy cuddle-monster playfully bats
at the stream and licks her paw.
She bats.
Bats, leans.
Leans, bats.
Falls!
Face splats into the fountain
Wet faced and embarrassed
Ragdoll does just that.
Flop…Drop.
And roll
both brain cells rattling, she looks around frantically for witnesses.
Humans are watching. Laughing.
How Rude!
She turns her back.
A burnt marshmallow of contempt.
That’s right, Yuk it up.
it’s all fun and games until they find
the half-devoured Surprise left in their Shoe!
