The Cat And The Piano

The Cat And The Piano

A Poem by Don Shaw
"

In the middle of the night i often awake to the sound of the piano playing in the living room.

"
      The Cat And The Piano
                      
                            My cat plays the piano, deep in the night,
                            paws across the ivory keys, what an eerie sight.

                            With her head thrown back, and a great big grin,
                            picking out the notes, your head will surely spin.

                            Bach or Beethoven , she has  not a preference.
                            The way she plays Amazing Grace, with the up most reverence.

                            When i first heard this, i knew not what to think.
                            she played on when she saw me watching, and gave a little wink.

                            So elegant of a tune, a melody so fine.
                            This talented musical cat, i am  glade she is mine.

well my cat has discovered head lights on the walls at night
(I just moved) and now live more in town so these are lights he has never seen before
he bounces up and down all the walls like a yo-yo on a mission
it is rather funny although I will have to repaint soon*)*)*)
thank you this is adorable
