The Cat and the Sand Dollar

I spied a lady along the seashore,

she walked with a cat after a long

nap!

 

They would walk or sometimes skip

along, stopping here and there to sniff

the air or scratch in the seashore sand,

this lady and her cat.

 

Finding things of natures call, they

explored it all. Birds from seas afar

away, grasses, blooming puffs of flowers,

and strange other things were found along

the course ways taken on any a sunny

summer day. This lady and her cat collected

them all to store away for a cloudy

day.

 

One day the cat stopped in the tracks

now so familiar along the way. A new

object obscuring the old and worn route

now lay in the way! With a cry of dismay

and a leap so high, the cat almost

bounded away.

 

"But wait", said the kind lady to her now

fraidy kitty cat, "you've just found the lucky

sand dollar!""Now we will live happily ever

after in our sand castle upon the seashore"!

 

So the moral to this little ditty, is never ignore

a kind lady and her cat who take a walk on the

sunny seashore sands.....they own a castle not

far from there!!
