The Cat Sneaks In…
When the cat finally came
He noticed something was wrong
No one was talking
No one singing a song
The house was so quiet
It sounded empty and bare
The sound was so odd
The cat tried not to stare
When he got in the house
The kids were sleeping in bed
Both tucked in tight
Upon the pillow, their head.
The cat couldn’t stand
The quiet all through the house
He started to scream
He even woke up the mouse
The children woke up
And were scared half to death
The cat sat there waiting
The cat holding his breath
They started to cry
And the cat he felt bad
All he wanted to do
Was have fun like they’d had.
He looked at the kids
And smiled best as he could
The kids would be happy
Well, he thought that they should
He started to stare
And wonder how they’d react
They started to smile
They started laughing in fact
The cat was so happy
He jumped up and down
The kids they just chuckled
He acted just like a clown.
When all of a sudden
The hall light went on
Mom and dad they were coming
The fun was all done.
The cat would be back
If not later, then soon
And he snuck out the window
Using light from the moon.

As most of my followers can tell by now, I love Dr. Seuss! This is another piece of my fan-fiction poetry.
