Cat Verse
The cat is helping me
In writing this verse
Crawling into position
On my lap in front of the desk
Her eyes in line with the cursor
Nose wrinkling at the opening of windows
Her paws intercepting my fingers
Guiding the keystrokes
Purring approval when it suits her
Or growling a critique
Her claws dictating the speed of my movement
Dissuading me from any sudden movements
Or badly-chosen words
Her fur ruffling in occasional disgust
Watching the shift of my hand
As I shelter the mouse
From her imminent attack
