Cat on a Hot Stone Table- REAL GRACE Reflection #19

I've recently had occasion to re-read C.S. Lewis's tale The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Reading that story led to my latest reflection on L.O.M.T.'s theme, REAL GRACE.

Cat on a Hot Stone Table

Cat on a hot stone table
Will he land on his feet?
Will he stay who he is e'en when
His foes turn up the heat?

Magic needs appeasing
Lone traitor's turn to die
Feline steps into the fray
The witch just wonders why

King takes the throne for all to see
And there, surrenders all
Cat on a hot stone table
Keeps his promise. Takes the fall
