The Cat And The Piano

The Cat And The Piano

A Poem by Don Shaw
"

In the middle of the night i often awake to the sound of the piano playing in the living room.

"
      The Cat And The Piano
                      
                            My cat plays the piano, deep in the night,
                            paws across the ivory keys, what an eerie sight.

                            With her head thrown back, and a great big grin,
                            picking out the notes, your head will surely spin.

                            Bach or Beethoven , she has  not a preference.
                            The way she plays Amazing Grace, with the up most reverence.

                            When i first heard this, i knew not what to think.
                            she played on when she saw me watching, and gave a little wink.

                            So elegant of a tune, a melody so fine.
                            This talented musical cat, i am  glade she is mine.
