BLACK CAT SAUNTERING
Black cat of many years
Suddenly appears…
Looking for food
With sly attitude,
Remembering being reared.
–
In the boiler room years ago,
Security helped her grow…
Soft-hearted men
Comforted then,
A mother and her kittens in tow!
–
I’m sorry I didn’t leave
My leavings for the cat to receive…
But she’ll get by
During snow fly,
Other dinners to retrieve.
–
I don’t know how long this cat
Will wander outside like that…
Those woods are her home
To be left alone,
Appearing at the drop of a hat.
