Bottle tops

Plastic bags

Anything that moves

Paper towels

Big meows

They’ll scurry across the rooms

Terrible twos 

A pair of them 

In your favourite shoes 

Curtains are an obstacle course 

The fish tank is a pool

In the bath 

Out the bath

Why are they so loud?

Up the stairs then down the stairs 

They’ll scratch the chair every hour

Lick your face and smell your hair 

Wiggling toes are prey 

On your back with claws and that 

In every inch of your skin 

You’re waking up and then drifting off 

Until 

You hear them gallop in
