Once upon a time...

Once upon a time
on a table
far far away

lived
two
nine
lifers
lounging
in
laps
of
luxury

One
with
glamorous
fluff and frill
an
epic
tail
and
all
the
tales
to 
tell


and
the 
other

a
queen
of a certain age
regaled
in 
onyx
coated
persimmon
paws
purring
and
Pas de bourrée 

and so it was
that

Sir Lionel Wordsworth
and
Lady Sophie Velvet Pavlova

The Felinae Aristocracy  


Ruled the roost
the sofa
and
the bed

Luring
lackey
with 
much needed
biscuits
and 
butting
of
head

Just a 
simple
job
for
a
simple
servant

serve
meat
she
would not
dain
herself
to 
eat

knowing
 if one day 
this servant
refused
to chop
the offal
or
failed
to 
filet
the 
veal
that the simple servant
herself
would indeed
become
their
meal
