6. attention

oh, we forgot
to mention,
there’s a cat.

the boys always thought
that the cat was mean,
she hid in the basement
and did nothing
but bite and scratch people.

the puppy didn’t like her
that much either.
she would jump out
and just bop him
in the nose.
he was afraid
to even run by that door
because of the cat
always lurking around.

years later, they all
warmed up to
the kitty,
as she turned
peaceful,
even letting the puppy
play with his rope
without getting hit.

little did they know
that she was more peaceful
because her time was almost up.

the kitty had
to be put down,
and now puppy
was the center
of attention.
he and he alone
got everyone’s love,
there was no more competing.
