kittens

Lovable but prickly  
always nibbling at your toes...
 
sticking you with thorny paws  
licking on your nose...
 
the pair make up a thundering herd
from cellar up to gable
 
their water bowl is upside down
in a puddle 'neath the table
 
rebounding off the furniture
and pelting down the hall
 
I know the gallop's good for them...
but I'm going up the wall.
