Fluffy

There was a spot in the sun

in which I used to sit,

but as the weather changes

I find that I do not fit.

I never used to worry at all

about my size and weight

but as my fur grows thicker,

those words, I really hate.

“Wow,” they say in awe,

“look at that big cat!”

So I say, “shut up, you dumbass!

This is all fluff and not fat!”

Disney Dilemmas

Have you ever kissed a frog? Been poisoned by an evil queen? Been made out of wood? Didn’t think so. Wouldn’t Disney movies be so much better if they tackled the important dilemmas at hand that we might be able to relate to?

Snow White and the Seven Daddies: While trying to escape the wrath of her angry pimp, Snow must also figure out who the daddy of her newborn baby is. With seven candidates to choose from, how will she ever figure it out especially when her baby won’t stop sneezing?

Beauty and the Breast: A young and beautiful bibliophile constantly rejects the advances of a manly hunter who wishes to marry her. She is able to avoid him further when her father is held hostage for trespassing and she offers to take his place. Initially the young beauty despises her diesel dyke captor, but the more she gets to know her, their love blossoms like a rose. And they U-Haul happily ever after.

Adult Toy Story: A young couple happily move into their new house. All is well until the young woman gets a new toy called Buzz. Their relationship quickly falls apart and the young man resorts to several acts of sabotage to get rid of the new toy in town.

 

Mouse & Cat

This game of cat and mouse

has carried on far too long

and just when I think I am the cat,

you attack and prove me wrong.

I have been patiently waiting,

crouched and ready to pounce,

and I gave you more than I wanted

so that my very being, you denounce.

It’s not even a problem, being the mouse

if that’s the sacrifice I must make,

but knowing you are still a cat

is what makes my heart truly ache.

The blossoms outside my window

are beautiful indeed,

but my allergies soon make it

impossible to breathe.

You aren’t that different

from these adolescent flowers;

since being in your presence

is more unbearable by the hour.

Family

I used to live in a place

where you had to be tough.

If you wanted to live,

you might have to get rough.

Who knew that one day

I was destined to meet

two humans who love me

especially when I bite their feet?

Until I went home with them,

I never really knew

how to love or be loved

but now I think I do.

They tell me all the time

that I am a family cat

and that my bird is for loving,

but I can always eat the rats.

So family it would seem

means exactly what I thought,

find two suckers who love you

and love them back a lot.

(Do I get a fish now?)

Bad Habit

A lazy afternoon

with not a thing to do

and somehow I choose

to spend it with you.

At first it seems great

but I know how it ends

every time I get burned

yet you say we are friends.

Someday I might break

this dreadful bad habit

but until that day comes,

my heart, you’ll inhabit.

Words Fall

The words flow freely

whenever you are around

but without you here

I could live without a sound.

Whenever I am around you

I love the sound of my voice

and the words escape my heart

as if they’ve got no choice.

So why can’t I control this

since secrets are my friends?

How can I trust this feeling

when on you, my happiness depends?
