Listen to poem:

Catty

There was no choice, 
but to acquiesce to the rendezvous.
Even though my situation
was precarious.
Your nonchalant gallivanting 
had exposed me to bad company.
So far, with diplomatic finesse, 
I had avoided any problems.
Hello! I no longer share 
your ecstasy with, 
what the cat brought in.
So let's meet and chat,
but please, I beg, leave 
your dross blow-in pick-ups
at the door.
