Tasty Cat Kibble

Cardinals swoop in
Snatching tiny crunchy stars
Up in their beaks

Those little brownish red stars
Must be tasty I think
But I am not going to try them

Robin appears next 
Gives me a careful scolding
Snatches one up and gives me her tail.

The cat and I look at each other.
It’s your foot I tell her
Goading her.

Shark makes his way 
Toward a fat blue jay
Who has just flown in for a bit of kibble.

They fly in all day long onto the porch to steal cat food.
