They romp and
play 
With inquisitive
curiosity
The hairballs
they cough up are 
Remnants of too
much revelry 
The night before  
Mischievous in
nature
Going where they
ought not to
They put paws,
and claws, into forbidden places
They pretend to
sleep without a care
But turn their
ears to conversations, of humans and mice alike
And stare through
their peering eyes
They meow and
beg, purr and preen 
Secretly knowing
that they are fairies in disguise
The night is theirs
to own
When masks come
off
And the flutter of
wings is heard
While their
owners sleep
