The Curious Cat..! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Curiosity brought a meddlesome cat
Stealing into a ramp - walk show;
Lazy and content, she curled up and sat
Yawning and watching all movements and glow


The select watchers gathered in full pack
And the judges adorned the smug row;
Tunes were played to keep the back;
' What was on? ', the intruder wanted to know


As she felt drowsy, dull and stale
Came out frail dames in deliberate outfit,
Pacing down the proudly lit trail,
Heels on point and flank in flit


The onlooking gazer felt amused now,
At the echoing claps and clamours tall;
She could make out and sense somehow,
The puffed up glamour in that strange hall


Crestfallen, the quadruped neared the casement,
With the lost, last look at the alien scene;
Sad and sarcastic, she rushed to the basement
Thinking how different human form would have been..!
Considering the fact that things mimetic
Are better fostered than the bearing, pragmatic.
