Privileged

One fine day a cat so thin but heavy with a belly Slowly creeps under my fencing wall. I do not know where her dwelling was Pebbles and water chases her away. She runs out, again shows up I chase, she creeps She creeps, I chase. Clash goes on and on So eager to know Her reasons to retrieve so soon, Followed her like a ghost I’d sought. I heard her purrs and cooing Inside an old tire she has curled covering Six eyes tightly closed, Rosy chins searching warmth Her pleading stare I couldn’t bare “Will you let us stay? We are strayed” A year nearly passed the time so fast She strolls like a queen with three princes smart Thus entered our kinship how marvelous! Chosen her sanctuary so Wondrous Without any scare Demands the share my lap care Manel G.

Thank you. They keep me occupy. As I woke up they come running to me for their share of my glass of milk.
