Lived to Tell the Tail
Yeah, it happened like that
Late the other night,
When I could eat no more
I dressed for bed
Tired to my core
I was going to lie down,
For a night of a writer’s dreams
As I walked down the hall
I suddenly let out a hundred screams
I shimmied, and I shook
As I began to shake out my nightgown
Hopping from foot to foot
My smile had turned to a frown
For inside my skirts
Running round and round
Was the Mississippi Squirrel Revival
And I knew soon, I would fall to the ground
My girls just looked
Asking if I was okay
While both thought I’d gone insane
I just cussed more, as I had nothing to say
Meanwhile, my skirt had a mind of its own
Swaying this way and that
I could feel the feet running around my thighs
Finally, I grabbed the head of that damned cat
Fishing under the folds of the gown
I pulled Clementine from underneath
I may not recover anytime soon
From what she did beneath

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

The imagery is chaotic in the best way. You made me picture every frantic movement and tiny footstep, and it left me smiling long after I finished reading.
Naughty Clementine! She wanted to play hide and seek. 😁
Oooh she just wanted to snuggle in a warm place 🤣🤣

Congrats on your well-deserved recognition! I think all cats possess a wee bit of devil in them, but some more than others!

OOF cats are a handful, or a dressful as the situation may be. LOL
