Eye of the Cougar

Eye of the Cougar

A Poem by Patrick O'Neil

Mommy? “Can I be a cougar, when I grow up?” The question, from little Suzy. Mommy blushes, grins and turns her head. She knows, the hidden meaning. She pours a glass of milk, pretending, she heard nothing. “Mommy, please? Please?” Suzy now persist. Stuck in a corner. An answer, she will have to give. “Why, do you want to be a Cougar?” Mommy asked, keeping a straight face. Question, with a question, intention is diversion. Suzy’s eyes big and blue, with great anticipation. “Mommy, Daddy said, cougars are the best” O, no, a grin is now a frown. Daddy tries a quick escape. He walked in, at just, that moment, Mommy has him, in the cross hair.

"Question, with a question, intention is diversion." I get the playful nature but I still love this line bc its versatile!

Thank you, i never thought of it like that, but i can understand the interpretation.
Cheating is rampant in our society and this man is no exception. This one is a little whimsical but true...Well done...:)
