The cardinal and the cat –
Archenemies in the wild.
When one stays in the house
Their relationship is mild.
The cat doesn’t even see
The cardinal perched outside.
How did we tame that beast
So the wildness in her died?
But it’s all just an illusion
The cat puts on quite a show
She’d stalk that bright red bird
If we’d only let her go.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
