somnabulent

somnabulent kittens, sleeping all day
have little time, for leisure or play
spending all morning, asleep in the sun
leaves them no time, for nonsense or fun


they nap all through breakfast, and snooze on through lunch
lying about, in a big tangled bunch
they wait until night time, when the sun has gone down
to commence with their prowling, and snooping around


they creep through the shadows, and slink under tables
they knock over phones and play with the cables
they leap onto counters and nose here and there
leaving kitty paw-prints in the dust everywhere


what are they doing, once we turn off the light?
what do they search for, night after night?
