What Humans Are Here For

Ananda the Canary
insists on taking
his morning bath
in his water dish.

He flutters his wings
spraying Chee the Cat
who sits below
the hanging cage
transfixed.

When bath time is over
I take the water dish
out of the cage
wash it in the sink
refill it and
put it back so Ananda
can drink out of it.

Ananda sings real good
for free because that
is what birds are here for

Paws together
Chee cocks his head
and listens to the song
looking furry cute because
that's what cats are here for

Then I'm off to clean
the cat box and
check the dry food
and water dishes
because that's what
humans are here for.
