ghosts with ears,
four legs and tails
with twitching noses
and dangerous nails
cold hunter's rhythm
and slinky spines
curiouser and curiouser
devious minds
the house is full
of shadowy ghosts
scandalous sneaks
in bodies that boast
defiance of faint gravity's laws
and hold human hearts
within their paws
