The Tabby Cat and the Dormouse

The tabby in the garden by the fence

wriggles low, tweaks his whiskers to sense

the grey dormouse

by the red henhouse

but rain falls sudden and intense:

a bucketful of cloud drops downpour,

so the tabby, bedraggled and poor,

slinks off to dry

his whiskers and sigh

at laughing mouse in henhouse door.
