The Bottle Cap of Doom! (Poem)
-
NB: Shhh don’t tell Princess Nom Nom that its me.
The Bottle Cap of Doom!
Her day was peaceful
Just food, yawning and sleep
As she lay in her favourite spot,
All was perfect!
Wonderful, grand and great.Until, from the corner of her eye…
She saw it!
The bottle cap of doom,
She groaned out a meow
“Mrrrr… merow… meow.”
As she remembered…
Remembered how it disturbed her,
As it bounced mysteriously past her,
While she was sleeping some days ago.Her bottom then wiggled down
Her tail flicked about.
Her ears twitched
As her body hugged the ground.
Then she waited patiently…
Waited for the perfect moment
Waited and waited…
With her eyes fixed on her destinationThen… JUMP!!!!
She pounced!
Right through the air she went!
Landing with a ‘THUMP’
She quickly stretched out her paw…
Then… ‘WAP!’
She hit the bottle cap across the room…Then… ‘WOOSH!’
Quicker than your eyes can follow
Off she went again!
Chasing in pursuit,
As it bounced off the groundÂ
She pounced once again
‘THUMP!’ then ‘WAP’
And off it went again.What started off as revenge
Had quickly turned into a game
And she twirled, jumped, pounced and ran
All around the room
Till at last she was tired.Then back she went
To her favourite spot
To where things were perfect
Wonderful and grand
Back to peaceful slumber…At least of course…
Till the bottle cap of doom…
Just mysteriously bounces past her once again…
Hmm… I wonder what makes it do that?

I loved this poem and it really made me smile. I can easily visualize the cat playing with the bottle top! What fun.
Alright, Princess Nomnom! I’m so happy to read that she has a bottle cap that gets her up and about! May the bottle cap shiver in terror at the furred pouncer! <3 Matty 🙂 Wonderful!
