Milk With Marvin, My Cat

Tendai R Mwanaka

I gave Marvin some milk to drink
But she just smelled it
And refused to drink it.

I spoke of the D.R.C
But she just stared at me.
I spoke of the elections in Nigeria and Kenya
She started jumping up and down the table.

I spoke of Zimbabwe’s problems
She stopped, and stared at me again.
I said it is all because of Mugabe
She just smiled at me like an elfin child.

I spoke of South Africa
And of how Jacob Zuma is good for this country.
She started mewing and growling
And moved out of the room.

And I thought it must have been-
The smell of the milk.
