Won Ton: A Cat Tale Told in Haiku

By Lee Wardlaw

Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, this adoption story, Won Ton, told entirely in haiku, is unforgettable.

Nice place they got here.

Bed. Bowl. Blankie. Just like home

Or so I've been told.

Visiting hours

Yawn. I pretend not to care.

Yet -- I sneak a peek.

So begins this beguiling tale of a wary shelter cat and the boy who takes him home.
