Every morning,
my cat,
jumps onto the kitchen table,
steals a milk top,
jumps down,
drops it on the floor,
walks past,
(casually)
pretending to see it for the first time,
(he’s a great actor)
pounces on it,
takes it between his paws,
pops it back into his mouth –
and then repeats the whole scene,
about 40 times.
>>>>
Eventually,
the sound of plastic,
bouncing, scraping, screeching,
on a wooden floor
drives me mad
and I throw a shoe at him –
although not really;
because he’s just following
my bad example.

Every evening,
when the kids are sleeping,
I take a tub of ice cream,
and put it on the kitchen table,
and walk past it,
(casually)
pretending to see it for the first time,
(I deserve an Oscar)
take just a spoonful –
and then I repeat the whole scene,
about 40 times.
>>>
Eventually,
all the ice-cream is gone,
and nobody,
unfortunately,
throws a shoe at me, either.
