I watch a cat most nights who visits my garden. He has a marvellous outlook on life. I wrote this to cure a writers block. With full respect to Jinxy lololol 


Walk On The Wild Side by M.A.Meddings

I watch silently from my window
As you walk disparagingly on the wild side
Uncaring what we think
We who know nothing of life
Excepting for fast cars and getting on
Smart sloane set rangers
Upwardly mobile but not like thee 
To you upwardly mobile is in a tree
And ecstacy?
Why thats stretching like a catwalk virgin
Teasingly burgeoning the senses of me
Reminding me of lithe lycra clad beauties
In gymnastic poses designed to pull the back
Energetic exertions of middle age
Whilst you never show your age
Indeed your rage hardly ever shows
Its not the thing to do super cool you
Walk on the wild side dont be phased
Just be you. 
Owe nothing to anyone
Let them adore you
Just do that pussy cat
Walk on the wild side

I love this!It is spot on. We have two felines (or do they have us?) to put up with and have seen what you describ here, so often. These two, Nermal the eternal cat who at 15 still rules, and Lily the infernal cat at 5, who stealthly awaits Nermal's presence then attacts in attempt after attempt to knock the queen from her throne, bring both entertainment and aggravation to our household. But that's what cats do isn't it?
