i, working cat

       as suspicious
    as curious
        paint myself fence     
          disguise myself leaves       
        shade myself branches
      watcher
          in stealth
       catcher
            real wealth
                   the long tails,
              the scissor-tails,
                  the bushy tails
       arrogance that flaunts   
           those nut-eaters     
                 seed-eaters
         tree bug-eaters
i, meat eater will feast
 fine, feed mine,
   divine repast,
     caught from behind
              or more fun,
          when done
             on the wing
                  that's the
                           thing
