Cat Among the Pigeons
Cats are creatures, pure and simple
Hunters by the day and night
When they hide and stalk the pigeons
How they love to pick a fight
When they rest, they lick each other
As they groom each other’s head
What is fighting to a kitty
With a blanket for a bed
In the dawn of daylight creeping
Seeping in my sleeping hour
Both my cats are loud and leaping
For the food which they devour
How I love to laugh and watch them
For the futile things they do
Like a chase or losing race
To catch a taste of pigeon stew
Nothing beats a purring kitty
For the comfort people need
When a cat is full and happy
Then my sleep is guaranteed.
