Turning Point

It hasn’t been calm since the vet,

Hissing and turning cold, brother and sister rivalry.

Finally, the angst between them subsided.

Something caught their attention,

They chittered at the window.

A different bird sound came from outside.

A lone whistling duck stood, wanting a friend.

He looked at the window and paused.

He didn’t want friends with claws.

Soon landed another, echoing back.

They danced a moment then off they waddled.

Brother sighed and settled back down,

While sister huffed and left.

Hopefully calm has returned,

All thanks to two lonely ducks.

One thought on “Turning Point

  1. Cats can be so contrary! I try to take them both at the same time when I can…or put the same ‘scent’ on them all when one gets home so they all smell the same again. Rub the vet visitor with a barely damp cloth and use that to groom everyone else….it seems to help. Thank goodness for the ducks!
