Napalm 11
Well Merlin, I can’t take it back,
but you were more of a fiery cat.
Your nocturnal house prowling
grew from your desire to be out
all night. I knew this of you
but figured it would be best
to give the critters outside
a rest. They hunt for survival
and you, for the thrill
of the kill.
If I let you cat around, you’d have
burned the neighborhood down.
Now that you’re gone
the yard brims with chipmunks,
squirrels, cardinals, and even
that fox.
