Shopping made Anna late;
She’d had a long drive home -
Her lodger forced to wait
As markets made her roam.
And with boot full of stuff
Essential to unload,
Present the ball of fluff
Hassling as all was stowed.
Animal’s persistence
Made Anna rather cross,
Pained by the insistence -
Felt cat thought she was boss.
Needed to illustrate
Lack of contribution
And give it to her straight
To prick this delusion.
Puss spoke silent but clear:
You mistress but me Cat;
Those are our roles, my dear
Let us keep it like that.
