THE MIDNIGHT CAT or Bobbles McBobbleson

The midnight cat
leaves her lair,
to take her post
upon the stair.

Was that a spider?
Was it a mouse?
She'll do what it takes
to protect the house.

In total darkness
she needs no light.
Her eyes watch closely
with perfect sight.

No one will see her,
for as dawn breaks
she slips away quietly,
not a sound she makes.

In the bright light of day
she sleeps so soundly.
"What a lazy cat!"
She is scolded, roundly.

The midnight cat
wakes at night,
ready again
to do what's right.

She takes up position
upon the stair.
No one will see her,
she wasn't there.
