The cat had just crawled into my lap
For his morning nap
When this rainbow appeared
Outside my window.
Of course I leapt up and ran outside
To watch it as it doubled, then faded,
Followed (not preceded!) by an unpredicted rain.
Back in the house I quickly learned
The cat had responded
To being dumped from my lap
By taking it out on his sister.
Hearing her screaming,
I grabbed my squirter
And ran to the bathroom to break up the fight.
Must such beauty always be followed
By violence?
