Tolerance
TOLERANCE
Tolerance that was the main characteristic of our cat.
Ever seen a xmas cat with antlers ?
He spent all day with the little plastic antlers
My four year-old daughter placed on his head,
And wore the tiny Santa red coat with four leg holes
As he sat on the windowsill,
Suffering the mocking taunts of passing birds
And condescending glances of neighborhood cats.
But at the end of the day his reward was
All the turkey skin and bones he could handle
And a night in front of the tv next to the fire,
Watching IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, oh yes !
While those birds and cats looked in, envious,
Wishing they could wear antlers.
