the cats at the backlane


The cats at the backlane
The animals don't care what you do
They will stare with big eyes
You can't touch me!”

They walk on their own
Eyes on the ground searching for food
When there is an opportunity
They steal pieces of chicken or fish

The backlane food caterers
There is always a chance for the cats
They will stalk lazing on the road
When the guard is down the cats strike

Occasionally the cats will kill pigeons
They will walk ever slowly to the prey
When it is near the cats will jump
The pigeons in its claws struggling to die

These cats are a nuisance
They always jump over to my garden
Leaving its marks on the grass
As if to say “You can't touch me!”
