Challenge
Things that go bump in the night
Poetry or prose
melon runners
Bump, thud and rumble
The melon runners take a tumble
Like a bullet from a gun
Up and down the stairs they run
Leaping high to catch a bug
Scrunching up the area rug
They awaken when their master calls it a night
After they've lazed all day in sun's light
Yet who can be the master
To agents of disaster?
Creatures designed to rule and roam
And saunter about a home
Creatures unnatural in their construction
Masters of chaos and destruction
Committing acts that physics should not allow
For one that weighs eight pounds and says "meow"
