Cats

Jellicle Ball

"Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats are rather small Jellicle cats are merry and bright and pleasant to hear when we caterwaul Jellicle cats have cheerful faces Jellicle cats have bright black eyes we like to practice our airs and and graces and wait for the Jellicle moon to rise Jellicle cats develop slowly Jellicle cats are not too big Jellicle cats are rocky poly we know how to dance a gavotte and a jig until the Jellicle moon appears we make our toilette and take our response Jellicles wash behind their ears Jellicles dry between their toes Jellicle cats are white and black Jellicle cats are a moderate size Jellicle cats jump like a jumping jack," Victoria and I explored the building while some others were dancing. "Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes," while I was walking down a wooden plank Misto moved to the side and kneeled. "We're quiet enough in the morning hours we're quiet enough in the afternoon reserving our Terpsichorean powers to dance by the light of the Jellicle moon," Munkstrap offered a hand for Victoria to dance and surprise surprise she took it. Misto shyly went up to me and asked "Do you want to dance?" I smiled lovingly and responded "I would love to." "Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats as we said are small if it happens to be a stormy night we will practice a capper or two in the hall if it happens the sun is shining bright you would say we have nothing to do at all we are resting and saving ourselves to right for the Jellicle moon and the Jellicle ball Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all the Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicle cats come to the Jellicle ball" We all looked at the moon which was shining through the hole in the roof. All the cats got onto all fours while Victoria and I were standing awkwardly in the middle. "What do we do?" Victoria mouthed to me. I shrugged not sure what to do myself. We slowly got down and tried to mimic their actions. We got back up and cats danced on the floor circling us then got up still dancing. Munkstrap danced with Victoria and Misto danced with me. Then we heard a change in the music. We turned and saw Rum Tum Tugger. I rolled my eyes, I normally don't judge a book by it's cover but Tugger is so far such a show off. "It's party time, with your permission your majesty of course." Tugger began dancing in a rather unusual way but other cats started to join in. I looked over and saw Grizabella. Other queens must have too because they got closer and hissed at her while she was running away. I turned my attention back to the dancing and saw Cassandra dancing while looking at Victoria almost in a challenging way. She accepted and gracefully did ballet. Then Munkstrap joined her then soon enough everyone else did too. Mistoffelees must have noticed I was getting overwhelmed because he tapped shoulder and motioned for me to come with me. As a excuse to spend time with him alone I agreed.
