and his Catzpanion, JadeBelle
IN
The Grinnie and The Tutu
Tomorrow's a new day, I thought
As I sank tiredly into the chair
I hadn't even stopped, it seems
For the removing, of sticks, from my hair!
I had wrestled with the weather
Done combat with the hose
Deflected flying insects
Even fought, a bloody nose!
Now, dogs were yapping everywhere
Didn't know what, to make of that?
But suddenly, I remembered..
Exactly why, I so love catz!
Speaking of which, where were they?
I thought I'd better take a look...
Softshoe Eddie was catching some zzz's
While JadeBelle... was reading a book!
A BOOK?
Oh Yes.
Seems she had scarfed my encyclopedia
From off the second shelf
And was doing a study on chipmunks
And reading to herself!
Whenever she sensed my presence
She sighed, and removed her glasses
I apologized for intruding
But asked, Why not... say, some basses?
Her jade-green eyes closed to long, narrow slits
As she pawsed, to talk about the grinnies;
Seems one was invading DaDa's garden
And it was even worse than the dang guinneas!
Amazed by her vibrating whiskers
And her vehement response
I decided to call in The Big Boy
To deal with this, at once!
"EDDIEEEE - OH EDDIE! Will you please come here?
JadeBelle has planned an attack;
She says the grinnies are being impossible
So she's gonna get 'em back!"
The Old SoftShoe came rushin' right in
Like the STAR of a Rushin' Ballet
"Did you see that leap?" Jade asked with a grin
Then, "AHA! - a tutu could save the day!"
A tutu? A TUTU? I was thoroughly stunned
What did she have in mind?
Now, Big Ed was reading with her -
And discussing the facts, she'd find.
Eddie was givin' her the big baloney:
"Nah.. you shouldn't even be afraid.. ya know?"
But JadeBelle was bent on casin' the joint
When Harlem Nocturne came on the radio!
Patiently, I took my chair
Staying back, a respectful distance
"You know what we have to do,"
Jade proceeded now, with great persistence.
"But trappin' grinnies just ain't my bag, Sis!"
Eddie grimaced, while scratching his head
"Go! String the netting, in DaDa's garden!"
Was all, that JadeBelle said.
Later that day, I heard an awful ruckus outside
And I saw that Fast-Footed ED looked disgusted
???
Then I heard him declare, into the thin air,
"Oh yeah?
But YOU'RE THE ONE IN THE TUTU NOW-
So Grinnie, you are busted!"
