the way things work.
the calico has been stalking
the bluebird of happiness
I hope she never
gets it.
slow learner
a woman given
to wearing black
and a serendipitous
affinity for mostly
white cats, needs
to learn the quick roll
of the sticky tape
a skilled application
the prosthetic tongue
that removes the lovingly
deposited fur
under the watchful
and approving eye
of the Dude
who has only been
trying to teach her
how to groom.
