A bit of Whimsey

?

?

Gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Cat's purr;

her gentle thrum lulls Him

her gift to the newborn,

along with the mouse she caught

who disturbed Him as

He slept

on a threadbare piece of discarded cloak

on a hard-packed dirt floor.

?

Her silky fur delights His hands;

whiskers tickle His face;

He laughs, giggles, rolls over and over in delight.

?

She presents her present of a dead mouse

which the she of the house grabs by its dead tail and

tosses it into the field across the dusty road.

?

Cat mewls in protest,

her gift rejected.

Yet she purrs,

feline gold, frankincense and myrrh

For the? newborn King.
