The Fence
by Mike O'Brien
(Christchurch New Zealand)
A cat will sit on a fence for hours on end
Sometimes on their own or just with a friend
They sit so still, as if made of stone
Perfectly balanced in a twilight zone
How do that sit on a fence thats not very wide
If we tried to do it we'd have a sore back side
The one thing that always gets them down on the floor
Is the sound of someone opening that old fridge door.
