I'm Learning Humility From My Cat

I’M LEARNING HUMILITY FROM MY CAT

I’M NOT AN APT STUDENT

I STILL THINK

THE SUN RISES AND SETS FOR ME

AND THAT GOD IS A MEMBER OF MY STAFF

BUT I’M LEARNING HUMILITY FROM MY CAT

I SHOULD SAY OUR CAT

BETTER YET

HER CAT

I’M INVISIBLE

SOMETHING TO WALK AROUND

UNLESS HE WANTS TO BE BRUSHED

THEN HE MOUNTS THE OTTOMAN

IMPERIOUSLY STARES AT ME

UNTIL I GIVE IN

WHEN HE’S HAD ENOUGH

HE JUST WALKS AWAY

NOT EVEN A LICK

I FEEL SO CHEAP AND USED

HE NEVER SENDS ME FLOWERS

IF HE DID

IT WOULD PROBABLY BE POISON IVY

I’D NEVER SAY

IT’S THE CAT OR ME

MY BAGS WOULD BE PACKED

AND AT THE DOOR

IN THE PECKING ORDER

IN OUR HOUSE

I’M ON THE NEXT PAGE

AH WELL

ALAS ALAS AND LACKADAY

I’M LEARNING HUMILITY

FROM MY CAT
