I took some
clothes and dumped them in,
And then retraced my
steps...
Unknown to me, the cat jumped in,
And hid in dryer's
depths.
I soon returned with the rest of the
load,
Shut the door and pushed the knob...
Content to kick
back and relax,
While the dryer did its' job.
It
finally registered within my brain,
That something was not
Hoyle...
Ker thump, ker thump, while the dryer went round,
Did
it only need some oil?
I thought of the load and what
it contained,
No tennis shoes at all...
Yet it sounded so much
like the blows,
Thrown in a bar room brawl.
I popped
open the door and the dryer stopped,
And much to my
surprise...
A staggering cat, that swayed back and
forth,
Could subtract one more of his
lives.
