My Brand New Favorite Place





I was wandering around the house
Deciding whether or not to pounce
On plotting Dust Bunnies under the couch
Or the limp and idle Red Rubber Mouse

When something very odd caught my eye
A stream of colors way up high
All the colors of nature and sky
Above the Pretty One's favorite Dinner Chair

So I padded over, steeled myself and leapt
Straight up as my claws splayed, dug and kept
Me from falling as I wiggled as my claws dug in and pulled
To catch my breath beneath the eerie band of jewels

Another strong leap and I landed flat
On a slick and shiny white hardness that
Gave my well spread out claws almost no traction
As I slowly stood and inched closer in fractions

A stream of light filled the round glass Thing
Throwing colors round the room in a delightful ring
When I dipped a paw inside, a smile appeared on my face
Because I knew I'd found My Brand New Favorite Place

It was just big enough for me to curl up inside
The smooth glass lusciously warm as I flexed and sighed
As some of the colors disappeared before I closed my eyes
Then the Pretty One woke me with a smile she couldn't hide

She hasn't moved my Favorite Place since that expedition
And I gladly overlook that sin of omission
I've grown too big to slip and curl around inside
So, I just curl around and cuddle it close with pride!
