In response to the daily post prompt

Tortoiseshell tom surveys his patch of green
even the dogs know to stay off this lawn
royal rumbles await any interloper
rounding on the garden
its all his – and every night he lets you know
taking on those who’d want to mark their place
on his little kingdom
right now though – this little prince is
yelling at the front door….he wants his lunch!!!!
