Trouble!






My Human has given me the oddest name
I would have liked something that strikes fear in the Heart
But, instead, my Pretty One selected something that sounds kind of banal and tame
A name that connotes that I am clumsy when I dart
From room to room and brush by the Pretty One's Flower and Pottery Cart
And make the Flowers fall with a loud and wet Crash!

That scares me to Death and causes me to dash
Into my Pretty One's dark and wondrous Clothes Room
Where I wrap myself in deep and warm scented darkness and gloom
Then decide to relax and nap in the toe of one of her tall, narrow shoes
Wondering why she has so many of the same kind, but in different textures and hues?

It must be a Pretty Human thing, for I have not a clue!
As I climb One-At-A-Time the Steps that go Upstairs
Only to caught flat-footed by the Pretty One, unawares
A moment passes by as she look around, the we both exchange stares
I see she is smiling, but I've a feeling that she might be mad
I guess that being named "Trouble" isn't so bad!
