Poetry month -- Day 6

Buster's story continues in Etheree form. An Etheree is made of one syllable for the first line, two for the second, and so on for ten lines.

Scooped
From a
Soggy and
Messy death, the
Tiny tuxedo
Cat shakes his head and licks
His paws. White rivulets stream
From his ears and coat his once-black
Fur. He treads, milk-blinded, leaving a
Path of miniature prints in his wake.
