Territorializing - Both Audio and Text
Listen to poem:
Slithering slowly, so very precise,
A methodic invader (and catcher of mice),
He stealthily slips toward the “enemy” there,
So unsuspecting, at rest by the chair.
Without a diversion to aid his approach,
And only his instincts, I watch him encroach.
So lethal and cunning, the hair on his back
Stands rigid…it bristles before the attack.
His innocent victim still lies unaware,
No clue he is fixed in the merciless glare
Of the eyes of a killer. With talons now bare,
His heartless attacker now springs through the air,
And, sinking his claws in the neck of his prey,
He arches his back and then hisses to say,
“No stupid dogs are allowed in this room.
Try this again and you’ll know the same doom.”
And off the dog whimpers, like you’ve never seen…
And I have to tell you.....that kitten is MEAN!
