A tale to be bold
An incomplete tail to be told
‘Twas midnight
Room echoing shuffle
I Illumine the night
Flurry of fur in a scuffle
Disappearing down a hole, allegro non troppo, a tail
Alack ’tis the end of this tale
Of a punning allegro non typo*
* with apologies to ‘allegro non troppo’ musical score notation for fast, but not too fast
