An
OUNCE is a curious name for a cat
SLYLY stalking prey in the wild,
CRAWLing through mountainous terrain far

OUNCE of feathers is louder. Diamond pouch around his neck, he
CRAWLs parapet, down pipe, then strolls out through the garden.
Inch by Inch
ABOVE the trench, movement even by
CRAWL is one that commands every
OUNCE of courage or stupidity or both––
SLYLY take advantage of every cover and diversion.

He’s such a high FLYER
His fans regard him HOTLY.
To see him FREED
I hope he’ll RALLY.
Radio Flyer for the Win
FREED from restraint, Sam’s Radio
FLYER ranked 1st in the
HOTLY contested 6-and-under wagon
RALLY. His shin and chin will be fine- in time.
Back on the Ground
FLYER landed, hope against hope,
HOTLY fought passage at icy heights,
FREED from deadly dream of soaring freedom,
RALLY now and ask, is an earth bound life enough?

FLAIR for the frou-frou
EVOKE notions of excess and snobbery.
