The thrill of it!
Adrenaline flows
as thighs flash.

Can you fly fast?
Panting, hot, cheeks flush
and we fall.

I will just think of them getting away Lisa just like Martin says - - -

otherwise any furry bits on the lawn and I start to think of why I have not seen those wild whirlwind wonders wearing away the bark off racing track tree.

Oh yes they will! I've had cats that were viscous squirrel killers. I won't tell you what they did to them?

I always think it funny when you see a cat trying to catch one and you know it never will.

Nice one Nigel
