A Tall Tail

April 14 - A Tall Tail

Someone let the cat into the office.
It screamed in the pantry.
It screamed in the meeting room.
It screamed at my colleague in finance
and nearly scratched her eyes out.

The panda with her pathetic eye makeup
observed from her corner, chewing her pencils,
while the monkeys looked on in glee,
almost clapping their hands at the spectacle.
The mice hurried back to their holes
and hid behind their monitors.

The rhinoceros sat in her room
oblivious to the flies buzzing outside her door
until her starling went in to pick some ticks,
to which she merely grunted,
"Let the cat be, let the cat be".

So the cat swung her tail everywhere
because everyone let the cat be,
until the dog came in.
