Well Blank #3 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 26

 

Well, Well What Have We Here? 

 

Watching the Thanksgiving parade

I feel a nudge at my elbow.

It’s Boo the cat who’s shaped

somewhat like a coffee table.

She pushes her way under my arm,

lifts her chin up to be scratched.

This is the one of three orange and white cats

my daughter owns that runs and hides when we come.

Sometimes it takes days before we even spot her.

But here she is getting cozy.

Thank You, Lord, for a skittish cat

making me feel accepted.
