Summary: There's a kitten in the file drawer



Contraband

There's a kitten in the file drawer
Against all regs & rules
The Queen of Owls is tending him
He's fed when e're he mewls

A tiny sound from tiny throat,
Is soothed with drops of milk
He'll grow into a Prince, I know
With fur as smooth as silk

But first the boss must overlook
The minute creature hid
Where purpose is to daily toil
At what the law doth bid

A hand of days the Weaver spun
Distraction mid the clerks
Small Contraband was well concealed
And nourished 'neath the works.

A Prince indeed that kitten now,
Grown strong and sleek and proud,
But though no stricture keeps him hid
He's still not very loud.
