“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”

The Girl and The Cat

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat

No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat

No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set

If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

Real Life or Just Art? (The Daily Post) Part Two

Real Life or Just Art? (The Daily Post)

You may think life
Is just black and white…

The elderly lady
Looking for her pay day
What if just maybe
She is just a shade
Or art of different shape
Or a statue about to fade

Real Life or Just Art? (The Daily Post)

You may think life
Is just black and white…

But if you stop, look and listen
Just for a short instance
The lifeless statue in the street corner
May turn into something warmer
