The Cat in the Tub

My cat mostly lies there.
He doesn’t do much.
He mostly just sleeps
And he takes baths and such.

He claimed to have thirst
So I made up my mind.
I’d turn on the faucet
And shoot him this time.

To my camera I dashed
At a pretty quick clip.
Then I shot that cat
While the tub’s faucet still dripped.

It dawned on me later
A sad fact, but true.
I’d captured the one trick
That old cat can do.
