Black Cat

Posted in Caturday

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere”
Groucho Marx

Black Cat

When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat

The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat

After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual

This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail

“Time spent with cats is never wasted”
Sigmund Freud

Caturday

Cats in stripes
Cats all white
Cats that are black
Cats which are gray
Cats in a six pack
Cats who are stray

Take one home
You’re never alone
The time spent
With your cat
Even if a chat
Is never complicated
And never wasted

Photo Assistant

“Who is ready for their close-ups?”
The little assistant asked
As she the camera passed
To the photographer

“Snap snap”
The camera clacked

Voila: the little helper
Got herself in a picture!

Potty Break

“No one look!”
Little Lilli her paw shook
As she went potty
Right on the dotty

Dish Washer

“After eating up the fishes
It’s time to wash the dishes”

The little Lilli sure is
Quite ambitious
