(Poem 194 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

Photos taken by Erica Smith.

Sissy says it’s breakfast time,
affection is only welcome from
the lone matron of the house,
and lack of treats is a crime.

She’s sassy, demanding, and
extra verbal when annoyed,
she prefers to be left alone,
and likes her cat food canned.

Each of her insults is hurled
from the back of her chair,
and her perches are plenty
because this is Sissy’s world.
