Ferocious Furries

They are born one night,

    so tiny and cute

Can't open their eyes and

    their hisses are mute

Momma ferocious,

    protective and warm

Cleans and feeds each

    one of her swarm

Eyes finally open,

    teeth growing in

Tiny paws have

    tiny razors within

They start to explore

    the area around

They don't want to stay

    on the boring ground

One day I walk in and think,

    "Oh how cute!"

Then I get mobbed,

    but I'm wearing boots

"Aww, they are climbing,

    think I'm a tree!"

Until one of the demons

    reaches my knee

"OUCH!! Get your claws

    out of my flesh!"

The others inflict more

    wounds that are fresh

Now I'm afraid to walk

    into my room

Because of those cute little

    furballs

         of

           doom.
