Cat Placement
Have you ever noticed a cat will squeeze
into the smallest space it sees?
It puts itself where it may please—
Within your purse, between your knees.
I do not know what extreme pleasure
cats find within taking their leisure
in places of minuscule measure.
I only know they seem to treasure
tiny cracks they barely fit in,
places they can barely get in.
It’s as though they see the wit in
the unlikeliest place to sit in.
Where you don’t want her? She’ll be there
on your computer, in your hair.
You have no power, so do not dare
say where to put her derriere!
Your drawers and shelves just suit a cat.
She’ll fit right in wherever she’s at.
Don’t bother to buy her a mat.
She much prefers your favorite hat!
(For forgottenman, who requested cats, cats and more cats. Here they are, just for you!)
These are large blooms, about the size of my hand. I’ve never paid close attention to them before, but now that I have three papaya trees right beside my kitchen window, it is easier to both see when the fruit is ripe and to notice the blooms.
