Poetry: Cat Haiku
IDREAMOFCATS ^

Posted on 12/12/2001 5:47:30 AM PST by SAMWolf

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then-
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a term paper?

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, crap! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
Claws are not that sharp.

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Kittens are cute.
The problem is, they grow up to be cats.
And as me dear old Dad always said:
"The only good cat, is a dead cat."

And as we all know, dear old Dad is always right!
:~D

If you want me to
I will not eat fine salmon.
I'll eat a dead bug!

My cat Lucky wrote that one.

Thanks, SAMWolf, much appreciated. The 4 felines who currently reside with Mrsgwmoore and I appreciate the poetry.

FYI, I created a new list (the cat_list) for us to flag feline-oriented posts for those who are interested. Just flag to cat_list.

Behold the huntress!
Bravely she stalks and defeats
The flightless hatchling

I HATE CATS!!

In case any cat-lovers (with a lot of time on their hands...LOL) are interested, I found a cute site that offers Mr. Frass's correspondance school of Feline Ninja Warriors. If your kitty surfs the Internet with you, he/she can earn a real diploma. No kidding! Here is my (dear departed) Sam back when he participated.

that wouldn't surprise me in the least

I'm convinced that if they were bigger than us, they eat us in a minute, or at least tear off our heads and bat them around for a while till we stopped twitching.

You leave me alone
Many hours calling you
I pee in your shoe.

You should try your hand at this. Or perhaps the class should be alerted? SO much talent there...
