Cat Haiku's

A friend passed these, anonymous, Cat Haiku poems, along to Daddy.

Enjoy. ;-D

The food in my bowl
Is old, and, more to the point,
Contains no tuna.

So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle's closer.

There's no dignity
In being sick, which is why
I don't tell you where.

Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.

Tiny can, dumped in
Plastic bowl. Presentation,
One star; service: none.

Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow's taken.

Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I've lost interest.

The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.

My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?

Most problems can be
Ignored. The more difficult
Ones can be slept through.

My affection is conditional.
Don't stand up,
It's your lap I love.

Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.

I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.

So you call this thing
Your "cat carrier." I call
These my "blades of death."

Toy mice, dancing yarn
Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
You're an idiot.

The haiku are wonderful.

I especially like the ones about the "blades of death" and not minding being teased.

Hi!
Great Haikus there.

The toy mouse one is the best I think.
My beans bop those things around like I'm supposed to believe they are real! ha ha ha

Thanks again for coming to my party Sat.

I was without Internet from Sunday until this morning because the cable line got cut by a construction truck.

We will be going to a local park for our Veteran's Day ceremony.

We also put out extra flags around our house.

We always have our big one up!

Those are awesome!

What a talented person to write them!

I especially like the one about the food and the service being "none".

Hehe, we do try, we do!
