My cat (a doggerel)

[Crepuscule]

I hate my cat, my cat hates me.
He purrs at me sarcastically.
He lies in wait behind shut doors
and ambushes with sharpened claws.
He sniffs and sneers at food from tins
then rakes in neighbours' rubbish bins
(he relishes banana skins).

Fish-breath cat, I cannot see
why doting pharaohs worshipped thee.
