#100poeticanswers 52: Are Cats Jealous Of Birds?

My friend Surzy’s nephew made this lateral leap, after hearing that bullies only torment people they are jealous of. He may have a point.

I can practically fly;

Can’t you see how I climb?

I can’t understand why

You’d imagine that I’m

At all jealous of those

Little feathery twits

I could fly if I chose

But I don’t choose. And it’s

Quite insulting at best

That you’d think that I’d care

That those chattering pests

Like to glide in the air

When if anything I

Am the one who should gloat

Cause the birdies can’t fly

With my teeth in their throat.
