To be fair to the robin chicks,
the sparrows and the rabbit kits,
to the naked newborn crying shrewlets,
you were once a little kitten,
who took all the chances given
by visit upon visit to the vet.
Shots of antibiotics,
hoping and finger crossing,
care like you had never known.
Prescription narcotics
at costs verging on chronic,
so you might give this life a go.
Spare a thought for the unwary,
you are a cat who grew up safely,
favoured by some overloaded dice.
Try to live life fairly,
pick on creatures not still babies.
But, all bets are off in terms of rats and mice.
