Cat
When she shows interest in you
Purring
Willing her to draw closer
Flirting
Tiger
When you see somebody else
Too near
Daring with snarled teeth
To face fear
Anyone and everyone
Who tries to take your place
Sometimes it’s not your place
At all
Mutt
When she’s angry with you
Begging
With your puppy-dog eyes
In vain
Worm
When she completely ignores you
Crawling
To that non-existent hiding place
Hoping
Maybe, just maybe
Today she will understand
Don’t you ever give up
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Even on a hot tin roof
You can still slide down the chimney
Just remember
There’s no smoke without fire
Whoever said love was tame?
