Cat

CAT

A cat, unshy,
Will wander by
Eyeing with curiosity
The abject, bending,
Condescending
Object it perceives as me.
I bow and scrape
From knee to nape
Hoping to gain its amity,
But though I try
To win it, I
Know it still thinks 
The worst of me.

The rhythm of this write is impeccable, and the rhymes and message are so much fun. There's a funny saying: dogs have owners, cats have staff. Enjoy your day ~ John

I enjoyed this a lot! They do condescend for sure.

Ah yes, Mary - cats sometimes sure do SEEM to *condescend*, but it's only when they WANT something from us unworthy humans. ;) Thank you for liking my poem. ;)

From soft and cuddly as kittens grow into a cat that seems to know how to get to us with their mysterious ways. But when we're away, they sit at the window and wait for us to return. ~~~Darlene

Thank you for commenting on my poem, Darlene, and yes, they do seem to have a caring side, but I suspect they *sit and wait for us to return* because they know if we DON'T, they may never be fed again. ;)

I love cats and yes, they sure do seem to think this way of us "humans" sometimes. Love this one.

(Pssst - Andrea ... I actually don't REALLY dislike cats ... it's just that I'm *on to* them, and they don't fool me with their occasionally *affectionate* ways. I probably(?) come across as cynical, but when they cuddle up, I know it's cuz they WANT something. BUT, shhhh, please don't tell anyone I actually don't *dislike* cats ... okay? ;) )
