THE APPLE TREE CAT!

THE APPLE TREE CAT!

We spied a young cat sitting in one of our Apple Trees a few days before Christmas. At first we were not sure what the animal was, as in the gloom of a snowy day, it was hard to tell! 

I grabbed my trusty camera and went out for a look. It was the cat, alright, sitting high in the tree away from all harm and surveying his domain, looking for vermin! 

So in honor of his "Royal Cattiness" and with a grateful thanks for my readers around the world, I penned a small poem in his honor!

Twas a few Days before Christmas

and all through the Apple Tree

not a Creature was Stirring

not even little ole photographer me!

The Apple Tree Cat took up the Watch

safe as could be from all harm,

Watching as the Snow fell

on the Tree, the Apple Tree Cat and the Barn!

As the Apple Tree Cat sat on the limb so secure,

with his paw wrapped around just so right,

it spoke to me with a wee ole voice:

"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL;

and May all your Apple Cores be Bright!"

Merry Christmas

 and 

Best Wishes from the Blogger
