Welcome to My Poetry Site
Here, Kitty Kitty!
"Darn! She's calling me again.
Doesn't she know I'm not in the mood?
If I have to go to her,
It had better involve some food.
"Not that same old brand again!
What if I merely walk away?
Will she get the point of what
I am trying to convey?
"No, my tactic isn't working.
That's no way to treat a cat!
Don't forget that we felines
Created the art of tit for tat.
"Clothes just out of the dryer--
A perfect place to curl up
Until she rudely disturbs my slumber
And yells out, 'No, no, Buttercup!'
" 'Buttercup.' What a name!
I would rather my name be
Nefertiti or Cleopatra.
But 'Buttercup' she stuck on me.
"Oh, well, I get even.
When guests come, I just hide.
They will meet me on MY terms.
After all, I've got my pride.
"Once she gave me a catnip toy
Then took it away. Don't know why.
She probably realized
That catnip sort of made me high.
"Yesterday she yelled at me.
I broke her favorite figurine.
I thought it was for me to play with.
Talk about a crazy scene!
"Today I'd better walk on eggshells;
I'll have to mind my p's and q's.
I need to find a place where I
Can lie undisturbed and snooze.
"She thinks I'll protect her from
Little critters. She's so trusting.
But I won't go near a rat.
They're so utterly disgusting!
"Maybe I'd better stop complaining,
Although it's part of my nature to grouse.
If she isn't TOO annoying,
I will let her stay in my house."
