Sense Sonnet - Acher

That Kitten

That kitten loved to romp and play
And tangle up with anything.
I'd find that kitten, night or day,
So busy in the latest fling.
The cord on the venetian blind
Was a favorite source of fun.
Many times I had to unwind
The self wrap that kitten had done.
I went to the store and forgot
To put the cord up out of reach.
I came home. That kitten was not
There making welcome meow speech.

I found that kitten I adored,
Lifelessly hanging from the cord.
