A Cat Poem
cussing the cat
first thing in the morning
so many egregious actions
stop scratching the screen
get off the counter
you licked my breakfast!
can’t you just lie there,
fluffy and cute,
match the decor,
sleepy symbol of domestic tranquility?
I have misjudged you entirely.
out, out, out,
out you go
climb a tree
chase a lizard
sharpen those claws
chatter your teeth at a bird on the wire
you wild animal you
To Ms. Bisbee, a lovely domestic pet --- most of the time.
