Of the list I am selecting from, thoughtfully emailed to me be a non-cat-loving friend, there is one that comes rather close to (though to my mind is not as good as) the third of yours, viz:
There's no dignity in being sick, which is why I don't tell you where

I am a stomach
ReplyDeleteCovered by fur and optimism
You like me purring
Your cat is researching
ReplyDeleteA definitive treatise
About car oil pans
Do you mind, I'm busy
ReplyDeleteCrap, vomit and furballs?
That was someone else
If you were my size
ReplyDeleteMy teeth would be in your neck
Let's deal, can opener
Heh.
ReplyDeleteVery f(el)ine.

I have so much hair
ReplyDeleteThat I'm quite willing to share
Summer's in the air
What's on the TV?
ReplyDeleteWhat's on the computer keyboard?
You talking to me?
This is too easy for you. Perhaps a villanelle ...?
ReplyDeleteVillanelle, schmielanelle
ReplyDeleteFelines find such posey
A poor substitute for
A Double Dactyl
Stretching body and points
Comes naturally to those
Born without thumbs
But prone to polydact(y)
Cats and computers go together
ReplyDeletelike bacon and eggs
like Laurel and Hardy
dogs: bored now
wanna put claw to earth
and check out the latest shit
cats like a room with a reason
with no surprises but opportunity
and warm and dim
with
many
dangly
bits
they watch your eyes
establish the sightlines
and vogue
and there you are
playing with flickering light and mice
eating and not looking at them
so they pad out
bnkujdacs7y874qweiu
while you relieve youself
even using a taunting tail to wipe
your screen free of sneeze cheese
doesn't remove their uneasy smirk
but they get the idea of steady pains taken
and that a house with a computer
has a room one can own
Gotta love that.
ReplyDeleteAnd all true, too.
