What Cordelia Saw....

                             Cordelia saw many things one hot summer day.  She saw Spencer having a snooze.
                                                                  She twitched her nose.
                                     On the porch. Spencer slept. A place that she had only been once.
                                  Lilies bloomed close by. Cordelia could see them all through the fence.
                                   Cordelia was a very shy little cat. She was not too sure of Spencer.
                                  Spencer liked to chase. And Cordelia did not like to be chased.
                                               She liked pretty flowers though. Her nose twitched.
                                                 Cordelia peered over the fence to see better.
                                               There was a lot to see from her hill.
                                                Sweet peas lined the fence. She liked to look over.
                                She also liked snack. And the bugs that crawled along the wood.
                                                              They made a nice snack.
                                           The garden below was huge. Places to hide.
                                               Flowers to sniff. She twitched her nose again.
                                                   Way up high Cordelia felt safe.
                                               She could see the cats below.
                                              And see Smokey. Way down below.

                                               Stretched out at the back door. Of a house that was not his.
                                                Places to hide. Cordelia liked that.
                                              Cordelia twitched her pink nose. Everything smelled so good.
                                                Smokey was up. Having a drink. He liked to chase as well.
                                              Cordelia felt safer on the fence.
                                         She could see  everything . Hear everything.
                         And still twitch her nose  in peace and quiet. On one hot summer day.
