The Return of Scooter
Scooter
the cat
who disappeared
when my
granddaughter’s
dog came
for a
visit has
started coming
around again.
For a
week she
came in
the front
door &
went straight
out the
back but
today she
jumped
up on
my desk
made a
thorough investigation
of pencils
& pens
the tin
cup full
of paper
clips &
rubber
bands &
all the
cords snaking
out the
back of
my computer.
Then she
dropped into
my lap
rolled over
on her
back &
with her
eyes hooded
began
to purr.
