Furry With A Chance of Clowder

Meant to be humorous but also with point.

 

All of these fur balls

makes for one big hairball.

The air is so darn thick

my oxygen has gotten thin.

The room is like a litter box

I hope I get scooped up.

Too many tails to tell

if the cat’s tongue has a tale.

With all this fluff lying around

it is hard to see the hairballs

       you cough up.

You know? I found this funny - but at the same time - I have this resident feline who is sixteen and delights in peeing on my couch and pooping where she will. I know she does it just to spite me, when I - weary from a day at the office come home to sit on my couch and I get an arse full of piss - its not purring....its cat laughter. I wouldn't wish hairballs upon her....but still.
A wonderful bit of humor here.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.

I think that this is an extraordinary piece, and yes I appreciate the use of humour with the trauma, I really felt for your p***y cat :(

I like the idea of this one. You have used a great many instances of fancy and flitting wordplay in this one that makes me smile. I love reading your work, and I don't stop in often enough to do it! Insightful and introspective, but clever and witty at the same time. Well done, my friend!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much.

[Sheila Kline]

The humor is appreciated!! The words contain a cat's paw full of insight!
The hairball destroyer is the only answer in a case as this!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

LMAO, that is funny, sorry don't know how I kissed this review the other day.

Classic! A great burst of cat`s eye perspective there. The lament of the follically challenged (sung to the tune of Rawhide, with a troop of pusses in boots square dancing) When your throat is swollen, full of hair that`s rollin -- hair ball! Roll em up, cough em out, spit em out, lick em up. Cough em out -- hairbaaaaaaaaallllllll! Thank you for the craziness!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[L.Edward]
