Kitten

A kitten called this morning

Tempering spirit

It was early in the morning

I needed cigarettes

The figure eight you made

Snaked round and round my legs

I came back with cigarettes

I needed trust, you needed food

I gave you salmon, milk.

You gave me trust

A deal stuck this morning

On the basis of your need not want

And in the amicable world, the cut, thrust.

I never cut you never thrust

A kitten called this morning

I guess it paid, really paid.

Special offers, a meal deal.
