Cats, Pigs and Bell Curves

A poem (even if I'm a dog person)  to end your week and give you something to ponder, 
 

A Cat Lover’s Guide to The Bell Curve

Brooks Haxton

Pigs may be the most intelligent
of the domestic animals,
but next to pigs cats look like
geniuses for diet, caterwauling
sex, longevity, and hygiene.
Sows suffocate their young
by accident, or swallow them
alive on whim. I’ve seen them
puke their breakfast in the dirt
and eat it warm for lunch, their faces
smeared with shit. The poor,
some experts say, are less intelligent
than the rich. This they prove
with numbers from a test
which, I’m just guessing,
is the one they use on pigs.

​Take care.
