A cat, all white like snow
Came by our home
Gave birth to a chubby kitten
Just one! Black & white coat
Large eyes blinked at us
Like in some wonderland
We called it Alice, it purred,
The cat was cute and smart
It claws open every shelf
Hide Alice in coziest of them
We always find Alice in pockets
Of our trousers, frocks or pants,
A little ball of fur, twitched & curled,
Never stole, never tore or ragged,
Took what’s given, else went on a stroll,
One day they were gone, like a fairy tale
Our own little Alice in wonderland.
