Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Mamma Cat

Mamma cat
looked in the mirror…
I warned her: cut back
on treats or soon you
will no longer fit into
your fur!  She licked
her lips, then began to
purr – shook her hips,
all four; legs supported firmly
atop each chubby paw – I sensed by
her feline attitude, that Friskies
were her beatitude --   

Tail pointed toward the door,  
Took I haste to the store.
