Once upon a time,

in an ancient city in a modern world

lived a little alley cat

bright-eyed and mischievous,

she wandered the streets,

meowing playfully, purring moodily

she munched fish and chased dogs

on that park bench, she dreamed

stretching and bathing in the sun

she cleverly enticed the locals

with her feline femininity

but her wild nature urged her on

sultry pouncing, loftily sauntering

to somewhere new, to someone new

with no home, she strayed the world

alone.
