The Curious Case of the Spooky Feline Spectre

The Curious Case of the Spooky Feline Spectre

In bed, and in slumber.

The twilight is done.

My cat?

She's beside me,

And snoozing along.

On awakening.

I hear creaking

Like doors,

And floorboards.

Too light for a person.

And it can't be my cat!

My inkling is of a spectre.

I feel. A feline.

Come along to inspect her?

A ghoul. A guardian.

Of her honour.

Or mine?

I trust, as I snuggle in cover,

That my curious

Spooky feline spectre,

Does lose interest soon!
