Today’s word is “ambit” ... a sphere of operation or influence; range; scope. (Dictionary.com)
Stalk
In his backyard ambit,
That cat reigns supreme,
He prowls and preens and watches,
The only king that’s ever been.
No mole or chipmunk’s safe,
From his keen reflex,
Though once-in-a-while a squirrel,
Does seem to taunt and vex.
He also seems to think,
That the inside is fair game,
Uncaring that we feed him,
And have given him his name.
