Real Ladies

I don’t have a cat,
I don’t need one
Because so many
wander in my
neighbourhood
The females remind
me of miniature
cheetahs
So graceful,
elegant, and curves
in all the right
places 
Real ladies, every
one of them
Of course all this
is anthropomorphic
projection on my
part
They don’t
care,totally
unselfconscious
They will never
ask,‘Does this make
me look fat?’
Yes real ladies
every one
