The Bird

by carolynholm

Cher Madame,
The evening visits with the magical bird are much appreciated.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Ah, the feather wand. I like to wear Winston out before bedtime. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This bird game is for the Winston?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Oh, it’s for you too. Definitely for you.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Sometimes when Monsieur plays the bird with us, he laughs very very loudly. C’est vraiment rude to laugh so loudly because a pauvre petit cat has fallen off the sofa. During a highly skilled leap at the magical bird.
Regards, M. le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Monsieur thinks falling off the sofa is hilarious. It’s a guy thing.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
I maintain mon dignity. Even when a leap does not land in the way it was planned. But il faut dire, the bird she is not very intelligent.
Regards, M. le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Not intelligent? In what way?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
She flies around and around and lands right in front of me. Mais, je suis predator. She should know how dangerous it is to land right before a predator.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You know it’s not a real bird, right?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
I knew that.
Regards, M. le Poufin
