What Brought the Night

When cats were gods
and men were mice
and thoughts were frauds
meant to entice
and dreams were framed
by words unclaimed
Then day made way

Thanks to the mouse of The Twisting Tail for the reminder of cats having been gods (and a great Terry Pratchett line). 😸

Thank You! Good-night!

It’s upsides in
and outsides down
for those whose sin
may cause a frown
when bedside chats
with fluffy cats
all seem a dream

The rising sun
shines through the house
A hired gun
paid by the mouse
to find the cat
to knock it flat
and choose to snooze
