CATTAIL
What a strange and silly cat
to make yourself at home like that
with no concern for rain or flood -
your tender paws in sticky mud.
What fussy pussy cat would dare
to stroll the marsh and settle there
and never hiss or spit or stir
while on your tail
a blackbird sits
and nips and nibbles at your fur?
