New Poem Day # 3...

This week's poem includes some helpful advice from a former karate instructor of mine.

Sensei's advice on cats

"Talking to a woman

is like trying to pet

a cat you see on the street.

Some are real affectionate

and'll come right up to you.

Others take a little nurturing

before they'll give you

the time of day. But most,

most given the opportunity

will throw themselves

under the nearest car

just to get away from you."
