MiaoMiao's new friend

Today Emily sms-ed to Ougwee and me:
"....And your darling cat caught a black lizard
that sent me running off today"

I thought that was funny

It wasn't so funny when I reached home
Because MiaoMiao was still playing with the lizard,
and the lizard was prone, and dead

MiaoMiao alternated between
batting the dead lizard with her paw,
biting on it,
and then batting it a few more times.

(A section of the story has been censored
by the other 2 mamas)

In short, the lizard was then captured
and disposed of

Sorry lizard for throwing you down the chute,
but I really didn't know where else to put you

Seeing you haunted me so much,
I thought it was a lizard
when out of the corner of my eye,
I saw a black sock on the floor
or MiaoMiao's moving tail

MiaoMiao was rather displeased with us
for throwing away her new friend,
and for cleaning her paws with soap

I shall have to think twice before kissing her in future
