A neighbor come calling

(A neighbor come calling, this year!

Banging on the door at 22.44pm)

'Did you hear that screaming?

Is it coming, from yours…?

Can you check; your outdoors? '

…So, I then switched on a back light!

And, peered through the window…

And, saw two cats, standing…

Claw to claw, and Oh, what a furor!

There came with a tiger's paw.
