Jungle Game

                Smart little bird                   

Hiding in the grasses
Hiding from the oafish cat         
Next door who thinks my yard
The cat’s own
      Poor little bird             

It’s red plume however
A dead giveaway
Pray the meandering cat
That nameless fiend
Doesn’t come
Or the bird      

Can fly away
In time
To beat the kitty

At its jungle game

  1. What clever verses! Love how they fit your playful photos. And how interesting that you included the three words' definitions at the start.

  2. Dogs always adapt to life with humans but cats never do as their killing instincts remain strong. We should have invented the mousetrap before we thought about befriending the cat!

  5. It is hide and seek, perhaps fun for the cat in trying to make easy meat of the bird. It is dangerous game for the bird to match the fun though!
