Promptly Poetry Challenge 2023/2024

Week 13 - Alley

I've never seen an alley cat
I've never seen an alley rat
It's an inner city thing,
But I'm a rural kind of gal.

I have seen my share of cats,
I've also seen my share of rats;
But out in the country.
Are they really the same?

I get the feeling that there is a meanness,
Comparing country to city,
I'm not exactly sure how they figure,
As their bites still hurt like fire.
