We got out early this morning 
for a brisk walk and short run
It was a pleasant temperature 
under blue skies and Turkish sun

A short stop before heading home  
at the municipal cafe
A cappuccino for my husband 
just water for me today 

We watched the hobby fishermen
pulling out their catch one by one 
Just bread on a hook and line 
I guess it’s their idea of fun 

We weren’t the only ones watching 
they had a captive audience 
The local cats sat patiently 
all fed in an orderly sequence 

Grateful of the little tiddlers
constantly being thrown their way 
It seems it’s not only humans 
who enjoy breakfast at this cafe 

The fish flip around on the path
cats tormenting them whilst at play 
Carried off to meet their demise
silver tails still wriggling away
