Bubbles to wine........

  Today was the day we gathered our three,
      kitties that is and all went for a ride.
  Inside their cages are paper and blankets,
    on the floor litter box, food, water on 
                               the side.

  Cages are seat belted to keep them in place,
   a long ride it is from the house to the vets.
         Along the way a rest area we stop,
       attach a leash, let them out, they are
                              still pets.

     Back into the car, the journey continues,
   as they meow and wail all  different sighs.
   One begins the other two slowly chime in,
 an unusual choir with many lows and highs.

    We surely have no need for cd's or radio,
       little ones unique blend put us in a
                            good mood.
    Before we arrive at our final destination,
 stopping once more offering water and food.

   Time to get going, it will not be long now,
    the five of us arrive at our favorite place.
    The kitties are rested, their tummies full,
  but a change occurs when they see her face.

     Remember those blankets we placed in
                               the cage?
     Well all three begin digging as if to hide.
        They commence clawing through the 
                              paper first,
           to get through to the blanket and
                           burrow inside.

   One at a time I take them out of their cage,
 trying to reassure them they will be just fine.
    As each one begins slowly to calm down,
          I can hear that motor purring like
                         bubbles to wine.
