Blind cat climbs tree
chasing after honeybees
sits there like a queen
feeling safe and sound
caged within a willowtree
down is far away
she turns her body
gliding careful down the tree
till she reaches ground
act of bravoury
not knowing what is beneath
could be a mad dog
she must have nine lives
all she has is ears and nose
she uses them well
