Some Southern Girl In
The 1940's Or Maybe 1950's

Lazy cat, aimed for my complacent ankle,
she rubs against my calf, over the shoe to
Kozy Kitten Cat Food on a paper plate.
Chomp. Chomp.
And she bounces lightly outside.
Stretch, Scratch, Miss Cat,
then sneak to sleep.
I think you like being waited on.
