Stray cats
Come with big eyes
Hungry maws
Perfecting the technique
That leads you to lay out
The red carpet of kibble
Bits of meat
Entice you to work
Work so hard
To win them over
And like the cats they are
Arrogantly dismissive
Of your efforts
You think the cat is in the bag
But all you have are claw marks
And bite wounds
Instead, turn that energy
To a dog
A steady companion
Who is applying for
Exactly that job
Loyal, intelligent
Partner, buddy
Dogs, they will meet your eyes
Gaze into your soul
Celebrate life
With you
“With” in a way cats don’t
Understand
And don’t want to
(…not about the obvious)
