Yarn Again

Kailey was a cat, a calico
Who was born inside a barn
This is Kailey's story of the day
She found a ball of yarn

On one early day, I think in June
When the a/c broke
The door had been left open
So there'd be no sweaty folk

Kailey caused no commotion
When she wondered in
What she saw, made her happy
Upon her face, there was a grin

Kailey liked hide and seek
She'd play all over the farm
This place was new, it was different
Inside, that set off an alarm

All the places she could hide
All the games that could be played
Then for a moment, she reflected
On the home in which she stayed

The barn had many animals
Some were little, some were big
Different shapes and different colors
Even one who liked to dance a jig

The very best of friends were they
The ones she'd always had before
But she could not deny, what she did spy
Laying on the floor

As she got closer to it
She swung her paw with a light SMACK
It rolled forward, just a little
And then it rolled right back

It was soft and it was squishy
It moved most every which a way
It was round and it was pretty
It was nothing like the hay

Sky blue was its color
At least, that's what she saw
So she decided, she would go for it
And she raised her other paw

With both paws now presented
Kailey grabbed on and held tight
Examining profusely
She would not let it from her sight

She batted it around the room
From one end to the next
This object was unusual
It had her most perplexed

It rolled toward the wall
When it hit, gave a bounce
Rolled its way back to Kailey
And upon it, she did pounce

Kailey heard someone calling
And out the door she went
It was now dark outside
The whole day had been spent

Kailey gathered with the other cats
As food was emptied from a can
Fish was the main dish, for dinner
And of fish, she was a fan

After she finished eating
She began to settle down
Although relaxed, her tummy full
Upon her face she wore a frown

Now was the time for resting
The stars were in the sky
She snuggled up inside the hay
And then she closed her eyes

A smile came across her face
As she drifted away
The repairs would not be finished
For at least, another day

She'd get lost inside a dream
Of her very special friend
She knew by this time tomorrow
She'd see that ball of yarn again

Author's Note

Kailey cat was quite cantankerous
Although spirited and free
Caused calamitous commotion
And picked a fight with a bee

Yes, the barn was very spacious
It was a barn, so this is fact
Yet something caught her attention
And there'd be no turning back
