I woke my cat from a fifteen hour sleep,
he scratched me quick, no time to weep.
So I grabbed him up in righteous spite,
and flung him far into the night.

He shot like a comet, tail set ablaze,
circling Earth in frantic haze.
Three times round, then down he came,
to Italy’s streets, calm as flame.

A year went by, no fuss, no fight,
then he returned like it was right.
Dropped off an espresso, cool and neat,
walked to his bed, back to sleep.
