A Black Cats Duty

My name’s Juno, I do my duty, us black cats are quite well suited, for adding scares this time of year, our sharp claws, people often fear. We have a reputation, human-given, and to please, we’ve constantly striven; offering good scares on Trick’n’treat night, to serve the folks with a desired fright. Human’s seem to love a good scare, careful going ‘round corners, I’ll be there; I’ll flash my eyes and hiss and spit, to pump your adrenaline, just a bit. Really, it’s not the most glamorous job, I’d rather be eating some fish-kebabs.

Hello M.L. … ah yes, the much maligned black cat for the supersticious folk to fear. I admit I had a grin when reading this poem - thanks M.L. - Lindsay
