The Un-developers by Jenny Joseph

The little cats sit under the hedge.
The many small offspring of a great big tabby.
Who lives out of sight round the other side of the house.
They are watching the pigeons in the road.
The pigeons strut and flirt and think no danger.
Children are delighted with the cats.
And cajole them as they are tugged along by Mum;
An old woman puts down crumbs for the birds.
And cars pass in between.
The cats purr and the pigeons peck up the fodder
But they are waiting for interruptions of humans to pass
So they can get on with what they are doing:
Five little kittens lurking and stalking big birds
And foolish pigeons flirt-flirting in the road.
