once


…there was this cat, see?

He was on the inside,

stuck,

as it were,

Forever.


And there was this lizard,

all free and unencumbered,

just mosey-ing along…




The cat so wanted the lizard.

Just

couldn't 

bear not to have it.


And for a moment there

he thought

his chance had come!


but it was a cruel trick.


Lizard whistled a tuneless air…



Cat pined…


And after a while

it was all over,

but for the memories.

  1. Oh you are too funny! My kitten has been hoping to get outside as well, but three feet of snow is in the way. I love that you are seeing lizards. I want to see a lizard through a screen door today!
