the cat still keeps watching



Out of the flash floods
The rats ran out in daze
Under the hot sun beaming
The rats stayed eyes wild

In the distance the cat watched
Giving the rats a chance to walk
Let them cool it down
Let them feel the change

Once the rats could steal cheese
Without a care to the stock
They would nipple it away
Cleverly they went without notice

When it was painted on the walls
The rats ignored pretended nothing was wrong
They put their own kind in tow
No cats to watch their show

Now the flash floods came
The rats soaked wet and in misery
They knew they were cornered
As they clawed out to dry in the sun

They saw the cat
They pleaded for leniency
Some rats scattered away
Hiding in fear of the knocks

The cat still keeps watching
It hasn't pounded on them yet
The slow process to catch the rats
Waiting for the full moon to light
