Upon a Six-Foot Tree
written by: Patricia Carragon

Upon a six-foot treetop,
the calico cat held court.
Her weight, a wee bit heavy,
made the tree too unsteady.
Furry paws craved kitty sport,
made balls fall like raindrops.
Her weight, a wee bit heavy,
made the tree too unsteady.
Both she and tree belly-flopped—-
the cat guilty by default.
