The Cat Came Back
A barking dog did not deter this feline.
My morning walks
Bring different scenarios
From the animal world
A cat and a dog met
in the backyard and
A tale began to unfurl
He growled, she hissed
He barked, she ran
This scenario
Played out
Almost every morning
Again and again and again
The cat returned
Stood her ground
Then ran when
The dog made
a snarling sound
He would bark
And scratched the ground
Like a bull
Of himself
this tiny dog
was full
This morning, these two animals
Once again met
They stray feline
The pampered
Canine pet
Like the Gingham Dog
And the Calico cat
Side by side
These two
In the alley sat
On this day
Neither one
made a sound
They looked at each other
Up and down
No bark, no hiss
No growl
or running away
They sniffed
One another
As if they might kiss
The kitty looked uncertain
The pup seemed a bit shy
They each backed up
While keeping the other
in view
With suspicious eyes
Then the dog
Just walked away
I’m not impressed
Because they could fight
On another day
But I believe
This time
The cat's returned
Indicates she
Is back to stay
She will stand her ground
And no longer
Allow the dog
To ru her away
