It's Still Life

1.
There once was a mischievous cat
Who loved to chase after a rat
With a flick of its tail
And a rambunctious wail
The rat slipped away just like that!

RDP word today is Rambunctious

2.
What counts

Yesterday I was myself,
but today I am not, and

yesterday will happen again,
yet today will not.

I am counting each day
like fingertips.
