Windowsill Expectations

There ’s a lovely orange cat
sitting on your hat
sipping tea and eating biscuits
but surely he’ll soon call it quits?
The tea is bubbling
the balls are juggling
their way around the room..
But, oh, what’s happened to the groom?
Contractions slowly build up in his body;
oh, please, someone, call somebody!
The cat walks its rounds still
even as the bride sits on the windowsill
debating the pros and cons
of jumping toward the garbage tons.
