My Relationship With You
I give
and you take
I give
and you take
I give
and you take.
This relationship,
built on what I do for you,
and you give little back,
a look, a word (in your fashion)
should I step out of line.
And still
and still,
I (like the ancient Egyptians),
obey you,
my feline masters.
