Poem 94: Lives of Kitties

Do you like kitties?
I like them
and I say this
with

a lot of
surety

very much

but so many times
they have to die
blerff
am I right

Poem XV Neo Catbus: Feles Improbus et Aegrotus

I'd like to tell you a little bit
about my gato peligroso:
first off
he is loco en la cabeza
he is a nuisance and a hazard
with his busy paws
and inquisitive claws
he is a lunatic and means to seize power

he hath a perennial head-cold
his habitual sneeze
covering everything in sight
with his perpetual discharge
above all he cherishes the taste
of human flesh

yesterday he drew blood
from Augie's leg
in a dramatic ambush

the children fear him
the goats won't go near him
Argos is over him
Molly adores him beyond measure

I don't know what his problemo grande is
but you have to admit
for being such a total pendejo
he's got panache.
