I hate the feral cats
living in the byre
probing exploring paws
questioning and inquire
living in old boxes
shredding the trailer tyre
I hate feral cats
I hate feral cats
cavorting and reeling
doleful eyes at feeding time
begging and appealing
no hint of equal shares
all robbing and stealing
I hate feral cats
I hate feral cats
either sleeping or at play
I find myself engrossed with them
the tasks I delay
wasting all the precious minutes
of a scheduled day
time hates feral cats
