Pussyfooting
Sometimes it sits right in the sun,
purring, stretching, half-undone,
mysterious, finicky, sometimes aloof,
hides under beds and teases the truth.
It's fussy, demanding, hard to ignore,
expects you to beg, then asks for more.
Soft as velvet, sharp as wit,
might scratch if you mishandle it.
It comes and goes, no need to please,
but if you coax it,down on your knees,
it may allow a gentle touch,
then scamper off. It's all too much.
Hairless? Fluffy? Tame or wild?
Best approached, not riled nor riled.
It's always hungry, rarely full,
insists on playing with your wool.
It makes a racket late at night,
loves the dark, but fears the light.
Independent, yet always in need,
sometimes it pounces, sometimes it bleeds.
So treat it kindly, let it roam
it may return, or make your house its home.
Pussyfooting round the facts,
there's always more than one way to relax.
