illustration friday - poise

I was sitting here yawing and drawing a blank,
when I heard a scuffle and my heart sank,
I peered out into the hall following the noise,
to see the kitten maintaining such grace and poise,
ducking and dodging the puppy's swift swacks,

as he played a rousing game of Whac-A-Cat.

This is just so funny on so many levels. Our dog used to have to deal with my mother's visiting cat...what a pair. This reminds me of the two of them.

Nicely done!
