today, it  started like no other

not a sound ,  did Clive the cat utter

searched up and down

he’s not to be found

looked outside ,  in the trees

even got down ,  on my knees

around in the bushes

in flowers he pushes

stumbling with worry

I go through the door

what do i see , rolling on the floor

Clive  was  scrubbing , itching his back

I bent on over to give him a snack

he jumped as my hand , made a big smack

Clive the cat , upon my nose did whack
