Rainy Day

Cat sat by the door waiting
Holding everyone to ransom
It was a rainy day and both
He and the dog wanted to go outside

I opened the door slowly
The dog grinned then looked at me
And performed a pirouette
The cat just glowered at me in disgust

So the dog scampered off out
Ran over the lawn, cocked leg
Then ran in circles before
Prancing, leaping and looking back at me

Cat meanwhile scowled with disgust
Tip-toed his way to the shed
With dangerous look on face
To hide in the dense weed and out of sight

By magic the sun now came out
Clearly a change on the way
Meanwhile the dog was trampling
The long grass by the boundary fence

Joan called me from the kitchen
Morning coffee had been made
Smug cat now smiled on the step
With not one wet hair on his sleek body

I had a towel for the dog
Shook himself all over me
Cat jumped on the window sill
As my lovely wife laughed herself silly
