Up a Tree

He followed me

down the country lane,

much farther he came

than ever before.

My protector

my pal,

my walking buddy

meowing as he went

as if to say

“Wow, look at this!

Look at that!

Who knew?”

Then from the

fenced yard

the monster George showed

roaring aloud

arriving in a cloud

of dust.

Instincts flared

and George dared

the cat to run.

And terrified

Whitey fled up,

straight up,

and up and up

the old majestic pine.

But have no fear,

Whitey finally dared

to climb down

and then found

his way home.
