House Cat
I
You know, that animal's so stupid
that I once saw her take a flyin' jump
off the top of the vent-a-hood
to catch a moth.
Middle of the kitchen,
a straight drop
of over 6 1/2' to the floor.
Well, she landed on her feet,
walked away and oh yeah,
she caught that moth.
She played with it for a bit
before it died.
Then she ate it.
II
You have to watch the children
whenever they're around.
They are not to be trusted.
The woman is affectionate
but rarely to be seen;
she is good to sleep on, though.
The man is somewhat of an enigma.
He can be kind or cruel,
whatever his mood dictates,
distant or familiar.
He feeds me and I suppose
I put up with him
more than I might otherwise
because of this.
The dogs are allowed in
when the sun goes down.
They offer some entertainment
but more than anything else
the smell of outside.
