Jail Break at Last

Ruby escaped her prison eventually

With neither an 'Alohamora'

Nor an

'Abracadabra!'

But pure will power

And perhaps

Some bobby pins too.

With that,

Off she ran

Away from the jail.

And to the pound

Where there on the ground

Lay a bunch of kittens

In a mound.

Oh, and Ruby?

She let out a squeak

And shuffled

And dropped from her feet

On the ground she sat

Surrounded by

Many a cat.

There was one,

Two and three,

Maybe four?

Around her

They gathered

Ruby found her wagon,

Tucked in the corner.

Through the shelter Ruby scurried

Throwing open the kennel doors

Her arms were full of cat

All were nestled in the wagon

And Ruby grabbed a bat

No reason why, of course.

And now how to conquer this town?

Ruby thought long and hard

Surely not as a beggar,

Or a pretty princess in a gown!

But alas, my friends,

That you will not know,

For Ruby is no longer with us

You see,

As soon as she gathered her treasures

She left to go far away,

And left the tiny town of

Busted Gulch

In its little

Muffin

Trance.
