[Jack Deth]

Our First Family Outing





Mother likes to keep a cautious eye on all six of us
Keeping us close at hand as to cause a fuss
Though she knows that Kittens will do whatever strikes their fancy
While exploring every shadow and corner of each new room we see
Mother invited us to the Mystery of the Pretty One's Room, seeking to expose
Just what does go on in there once the door is closed?

At first glance, the Room seemed quite feminine in a toned and subtle way
Offering many things and places to poke at and to play
Little Nicole and Alicia were drawn immediate to the plush, long Curtains
Climbing them with style and elan, a gift from Mother, I am certain
Alicia seems enamored with their plush and soft design
While Nicole opts for flowers and a Sunny window sill, savoring and staking out her find

The faraway rug draws Alexander to tunnel and wriggle
A plump little lump that causes all of us to giggle
Hypnotized by the caged bird, Mother wonders who will be the hero?
Of Nero's playful invitation to the bird to have lunch
Mother's money is on the bird, if I were to wager a hunch!

Which leaves Mother, Lorraine and I exploring the Pretty One's Magic Table
With lots of things available to touch and smell and taste
As small and shiny things slide under my paws and tail, they seem but a waste!
Lorraine pushes up to explore more closely the wall, but to no avail
Curiously plucking at a lovely feather in ways that are not chaste
While Mother smiles and schedules another visit to this wondrous place!

"The faraway rug draws Alexander to tunnel and wriggle

A plump little lump that causes all of us to giggle"


Those 2 lines are my fave part of this poem!
