A SERIOUS QUESTION...ABOUT A KITTEN AND A BUTTERFLY

I want to try to infuse a little cat poetry into my weekly posts along with mommies art collages she likes to make. We think in this stressful world we need all the beauty we can find. We will try to bring that to you...we hope to make you smile and maybe even want to come back each week for more PRETTY POETRY... Our first poetry post is dedicated to Pierro and Miles in their Happy Place. They have been showering us with quotable wisdom for years and we are smarter kitties because of it. Thank you for inspiring our new Monday feature!

~A Serious Question~
A kitten went a-walking
One morning in July
And idly fell a-talking
With a great big butterfly.
The kitten's tone was airy,
The butterfly would scoff;
When there came along a fairy
Who whisked his wings right off.
And then, - for it is written
Fairies can do such things,
Upon the startled kitten
She stuck the yellow wings.
The kitten felt a quiver,
She rose into the air,
Then flew down the river
To view her image there.
With fear her heart was smitten,
And she began to cry:"
Am I a butter-kitten?
Or just a kitten-fly?"
