Fight or flight
Cornered with no escape
Make or break
Either way he’s done
With a YOWL and a grOWL
They leap into the attack
Never turning their back
All TEETH and CLAWS
Without a pause
Fur flies like large snowflakes
White, bright, like a pillow fight
Twirling, whirling feline dervishes
Rolling over and over
I had to intervene
Between protagonist and antagonist
The former strutted off
Tail in the air
While the latter slunk home
To lick his wounds
No real damage done
