The fiddler's cat
keeps one claw in a treble clef--
keeps one eye on the mouse that's left--
the fiddler's cat--
white but not deaf.
The fiddler's cat
caught the note she drew from you--
knows polished maple from driftwood, too--
the fiddler's cat--
can scratch and scratch she do.
oh she do; just like her mistress

Wow. Always an amazement. NO idea how you keep doing it, but keep doing it you do. Cutting edge, pun unintended.
ReplyDeleteyou made me smile, but that's really awesome. :)
ReplyDelete*grin* yes, the cat will do that which she wants to do...
ReplyDeleteCats ARE quite different than dogs...;)
ReplyDeleteSmiling so big. I really love this. You had me from the first two lines.
ReplyDeleteLove the tags--and the artful, feline charm of this poem with claws. Also, laffin @ the wisdom of Kittenblossom & co.
ReplyDeleteLove that last line!
ReplyDeleteI love the first line!

ReplyDeleteThat's what I did reading this one out loud!
I also liked how you brought the fact that white cats have a tendency towards deafness, but not the "fiddler's cat."
