Alfie, The Neighborhood Scaredy Cat
Afraid of his own shadowThis black cat hangs out
Just down the walk
Forever hiding in his windowbox
Watching all the neighbors go by
Quietly mello in his setting
Looking out at the world
The deer, the squirrels, the moles
Even when friends come over
He runs into the hall closet
Only occasionally feeling brave
Exploring the nearby stairwell
Otherwise he keeps to himself
Keeping a very low profile
Running from anything he deems scary
