| The romance between the cat and the moon!! |
The cat looked at the moon
The moon looked back at her
Both fell in love soon
There remained nothing to differ.
She asked the moon one day,
"Where are all the mice?
Tell me, my love, as you are over there
Observing everything below before every sun-rise.
You sit there and watch whole night
What happens in all the nook and corner of this place,
I would love you even more if you help me Mr. White
To satiate my hunger, so please show some grace."
The moon replied with cool conviction,
"Look, my charming lady, I would have loved to help
But, I can't as I have to follow the rules of Benediction
So I suggest that you don't need to yelp.
May it be a cow, a lion or a mighty elephant
By themselves have all, to find their food
So do not expect any help and be eminent
Go, find your prey as daily you would."
The feline creature looked in dismay for a while,
As she thought about what the moon just said,
But then she felt he was still friendly and not hostile
And advanced into the streets to find her bread.
Not before long she saw a big, mischievous mouse,
Jumping here and there with no fear at all,
As if all the cats in the world had disappeared along with their spouse!!
She got interested, drew closer and slowed her crawl.
Then she pounced on him as he came very near
Put him in her mouth as he squeaked along
Aha!! She had finally something to cheer
As now there was food which she could enjoy all day long!
As she jumped on a tree-branch with a strong heave
Her mind got occupied with what the moon had told before,
The rodent was dead and there was nobody else to deceive
Now she could sit and eat whole night, with all her decor.
With nothing more to explore, she thought about the moon's advice
"Ah!" - She spoke to herself, "He was so right!!
For had he not asked me to search for the prey myself twice
It would have become a habit for me to rely on someone else's insight."
