Wanna Be 20th Century Southern Belle in a 21st Century World

poem to commemorate the announcement of a South Carolina native daughter declaring she’s a candidate for president in 2024

Wet cat at the kitchen door

your daddy’s house is empty;

he don’t live here anymore.

No collar to keep the fleas at bay,

no Kittles and Bits,

no sunny window sill soirée.

You’ve never eaten Mulligan stew

or acquired a taste for mice.

What’s a pampered cat to do?
