A cat duet.
A silhouette.
A high brick wall,
An awful squall.
A moonlit night,
A mortal fight.
A man in bed,
Sticks out his head.
Gee Whiz!
The man has riz.
His arm draws back
A big bootjack–
A loud swish,
Squish!
“What’s that?”
A dead cat.

Dead poet tour. 😂
I swear this poem sounds like You and Tati wrote it yourself. I knew it; you guys are reincarnates of some quirky, old, dead poets.

Oh, I wish we wrote this. I really do! But I’m going to take that as a real compliment, my friend. To be considered on the same level as this poet… well, that’s an honour! 😛
