Twas the night before
Solstice
When I and the cats
Had just settled down
For a long winter's nap
When out in the hallway
There arose such a clatter
Thunking and clunking
What on earth was the matter?
The cats were not with me
I found none in the house
Has they all scattered thither
In chase of a mouse?
I roared as I strode through
The doorways and halls
"What the hell are you doing?"
"What's doing on?"
The last door I yanked open
Revealed a surprise
Leto the kitten
With huge frightened eyes
His head was wedged firmly
Inside a glass jar
I don't even know
How he'd made it that far
In this airless prison
His doom was foretold
I had to act swiftly
I had to be bold
Left hand on the kitten
Right hand on the jar
I grabbed his neck tightly
And twisted the jar
I pulled and I pulled
With all of my might
And I freed my small friend
From his terrible plight
I calmed him and soothed him
And called him by name
"Oh Leto! Poor Leto!"
"You're all right again!"
His purr increased swiftly
And I swear he made clear
"Blessed Solstice to all!"
"I'm so glad I'm still here!"
