Night Dreamers
FUR ripples on sleeping catswound up warm in wicker baskets.Softly purring metronomes.
Polished plates have fishy traces,
diners, laundered shirts and paws.
Fur ripples on sleeping cats.
Felines bask by glowing embers
baking gold as cottage loaves.
Softly purring metronomes.
The hunter's moon gets up and lights
silver fields and frosty alleys.
Fur ripples on sleeping cats.
A barn owl starts his evening rounds
tired cats ignore his calls.
Softly purring metronomes.
These tabby tigers make great paces
set in dream- land's untamed spaces.
Fur ripples on sleeping cats.
Softly purring metronomes.
