Quickly

From a pet's perspective

 

Quickly

 

As quick as she could

She pounced, never knowing

Which way it would go.

Quickly, fast, get, get it now.

Frantic she tries

And touches it so lightly,

Again it skitters off the slippery floor

Fast, now fast slides to a stop

Get it, now get, before it’s too late

Batting it quickly, now it flies

Running again, the faster she flies

Now, now! Get it! Get it!

Alas it is now gone

Lost, forgotten, she glances

Under the couch her toy now hides

She’s off for a drink, then she sits

And washes her face

With two furry paws.
