The One Per Cent

by carolynholm

Cher Madame,

The water bowl, she is not filled to the top.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

It’s almost to the top, sweetie. I filled it this morning.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Il faut to keep it completely filled. C’est your job as ma domestique.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Seriously? Your household help?

Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

But of course. Mais oui. You have surprise?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I guess I shouldn’t be. You are incorrigible.

Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

You serve the food, clean the litter box, provide the comfy cushions. Scratch my chin when I demand. C’est très très clear. You are my domestique.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

And what, pray tell, are you?

Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

I am le privileged class. I thought you knew.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

We are all in this household together, sweetie.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

But I am, as Madame surely knows, the One Per Cent.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

And the rest of us are…?

Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Here to serve me.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin
