uncle henrys cardinal

it happens every so often
on gypsys old porch
now covered with feral cats
sleeping eating hanging out
as i sat at my computer
i heard the dreaded thump
a bird flew into the window
on gypsys porch
the fringes I had hung
on both porch windows
weren't working
as fast as i could i ran
could i get there in time
to save a live unconscious bird
well bad news
uncle henry the cats favorite
feral and a nice guy
was out in the yard
eating a male cardinal
all the other cats
were watching and waiting
