Treats
By
John I. Blair
In they stalk on padded paws,
Looming through the door,
Here for treats.
Zander butts against my side;
Miss Kitty rubs around my legs;
Georgie stretches in a chair,
Regal as a queen;
Gracy sits there on the floor,
Trusting she will eat.
I’m a focus for all four,
Feeling more than just a bit
Like prey with pumas in the room.
