A Good C0mPade
By Madeline Bridges

Although the pretty children claim
Her gentle interest and care,
I'm not neglected. All the same
She lets me have my ample share.
She does not pirate aloud her views,
Yet oft methinks she might have need;
She never glances at the news
Nor follows fashions changing screed
When weary I return at night
From ways that feet of men must roam
She comes to meet me, with delight,
And makes me feel my welcome home.
Beside the fire she sits with me,
Babies asleep, the while she sings
All to herself contentedly,
l smoke, or read, or scribb1e things.
What? No, indeed, sir; there you err
Wife, nothing! There are none like that!
I'm a contented bachelor,
And she's my good, nice, comrade cat
