white horse
in the field of daisies
whiter still
-Harriet Kofalk_______________________________Three-Legged Cat
by David S.Tripod, Pivot, Eileen-
These offenses scorch you not.
You have three legs at least
Whilst your mockers have only two to trot
"And what success," you ask
Green eyes condescending
"Would you have negative a leg?"
Hobbling kitty you are a comical sight
Waggling that indignant stub to scratch patches
Where a leg was once wont, to your delight.
Are you still fooled by the phantom limb, clever cat?
Yet you feel no shame-
Huffy with man
Pugilistic with feline
Though only three fleet feet remain.
But do not be haughty with me-
I'll tip you over.
