The Cat

A cat that’s tawny beige and white

And very fluffy fat

Appears from nowhere, just like

We’ve rolled out a welcome mat.


Either plopped down in the driveway

Or stretched out upon the deck,

The cat seems right at home

Although the collar on its neck 


Tells me it belongs to someone; 

It is not a random stray,

Yet I cannot understand why

It keeps wandering this way.


If I approach, it saunters off,

Quite haughty, like it knows

That there are better stops to make,

Or that’s what I suppose.
