"Mismatched Cats"
Cats are mighty hunters all,
Their camouflage superb,
Concentration so advanced
That nothing can disturb.
Tabby in the forest glen
Or gray beneath a hedge
Come to deal swift death to prey
Upon the twilight's edge.
Still what blends in one place, may
Not go so well elsewhere.
Little can be done about
Calicos on the stair,
Orange coat on summer grass,
Or white in woods, but oh --
Nothing is less stealthy than
A black cat in the snow.
