For All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place



Gems





Four inquisitive Kittens out and about in the Sunday best
Contentedly showing off immaculate gloves, spats and snowy vests
Decided to put their Mother's omniscient patience to the test

Following their shadows falling across the wide flagstone lane
Bracketed by low yet sturdy walls of chiseled stones smoothed by rain
Our intrepid explorers went off to find what knowledge could be gained

Led by brazen Clothilde, resplendent in an ebon striped copper frock
Playing shepherd to the soft pawed siblings of her flock
Discovered a secluded oasis well hidden within the quaint and rustic block

Framed in wide yellow petaled flowers that exuded a delightful scent
That flamed furred Rachel and matched brothers Alain and Henri seemed content
To revel in the wondrous and mysterious surroundings others had lent

Watching the various visitors floating about the framing flowers' long stems
Until Clothilde discovered what she thought was a large and shiny gem
On the edge of the mirror smooth water adorned with various addendum

Huge flat petals with strange looking flowers at their center
The Kittens watched the slow and cautious moves of Clothilde, their mentor
As the gem sprouted short stout arms and legs defying any dissenters

Then leaped to dive into the mirrored wetness without a flaw
Easily avoiding the approach of Clothilde's slow and gentle paw
Leaving the explorers wondering how to tell their Mother what they saw
