Liquid Courage
They idle in the tavern,
as they have many nights before,
reminiscing about good times
and doing their best to ignore
the ticking clock above the door,
the harbinger of doom in store
for the fair-haired, mustachioed
man in the polyester suit;
the guy sucking back another
cranberry juice and Absolut. "It's time to get ourselves en route
to the church, mister," his astute friend enjoins.
"One more," says the groom.

We are Amy's latest kindle
Cute and cuddly feline bindles
Found underneath the shrubs in Amy's yard
Four girl kittens and four boys kittens
Forlorn and looking like we'd lost our mittens
In the early morning rain, it wasn't hard
To trade in door warmth for outdoor cold
The boys in vests and spats were all so bold
Leaving our box to see just what would unfold
Up above us was this great big thing
Gleaming white and oh so inviting
With a wide long smile that seemed to tease and infect
Little did we know it was Amy's latest project
That lured us all to meticulously, felinely inspect
This thing that makes sounds in pretty ways that nearly sing
We girls in stripes and calico liked the lighter sounds, just because
As we padded and our steps dropped beneath our paws
While the boys pounded the deep ones on this musical sea
When Amy saw us, we thought she'd be angry
Instead she giggled and snapped a picture of "The Usual Suspects"
Though we much prefer to be called "Kittens On The Keys"
