Kitties don't like rain,
But kitties know
That rain must come
For mousies to grow
On mousy trees where pink nosed
Blossoms bloom.

So kitties mew
And patty paw
Across the grass
When it is wet.
Their green eyes squint,
And kitty lips purse,
But they put up with it,
Because kitties believe
In the greater good
And in delayed catification.
