A Friend Of An Enemy.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it was wrong for you to talk
to the cats to help you eliminate
the rats

the rats keep on eating your clothes
and your furniture

they hate you for asking help
from their oppressor

befriend the cats and they soon will
take revenge

as the old adage says, a friend of their
enemy is their enemy

you should not have meddled in their
affairs, kept your clothes inside a glass
cage and slept on your furniture
