Black Puss


Stealthily they wander
Across your lawn at night
Sometimes they will let out
Some screech that may you fright

Pity the poor frogs and voles
That havent gone to ground
Will they soon be frozen
Such fear comes with that sound

Often when in daylight
One is seen to cross the path
Someone will be muttering
But me, I have a laugh

For though they may have eyes of green
That set in perfect black do gleam
How can they bring you luck at all
Their only nuisance their night call

Black cats sitting on your lap
Can purr as all the rest
But I prefer the tabbies
For me they are the best
