The Cat's MEDICINE!

By tigerlilly

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The cat perched warily atop highest shelf... fur ruffled and glaring not at all like himself. But we'd been on this chase for at least half an hour, I too, was beginning to appear quite sour. Returning his foul glare with one that I had... I said "Surely this medicine, does not taste that bad..." Giving me then a worse look, a haughty knowing stare... telepathing "You can put that medicine YOU KNOW WHERE! But MY mouth will not open, you'll never gain entrance!" He hissed then for emphasis as I made my advance. Armed with the dropper filled with antibiotic, for cold germs were making my life chaotic... (Remember the sneezes, the vet trip with five? Thought I'd never get through that one alive!) But now that I have you cornered at last... the pink liquids going down, you wont get past! With this beach towel barrier I'll swathe you up fast... do the deed quickly, while you're looking aghast. CRASH #$%@*& SHATTER *%$@ BOOM This would have worked fine, my idea, I suppose... but the ladder I stood on at that moment chose, to topple, tip over into easy chair... broke my fall, not a bone, one blessing, there. As I wiped sticky meds off of my face... stole a glance at the one who'd caused this disgrace. Saw justice in cat eyes, as he settled to smirk... that telepathed laughing saying "Ha! Good Work!"all comments and critiques welcomed =^..^= Written February 24th, 2002 © on Feb 24 2002 05:20 AM PST   18 • 0 • 14
