The other day, my husband and I drove down our driveway. As usual, Kitty was perched on top of my van, looking down on his kingdom.
"There's Lord Kitty," my husband observed.
It's true. Kitty does have the self satisfied demeanor of one who is lord of all he surveys.
A couple of years ago, my neighbor told me a funny joke. Like all good jokes, it's funny because it's so true.
QUESTION: What's the difference between a dog and a cat?
ANSWER: The dog thinks, "She feeds me, she loves me, she takes care of me. SHE must be a goddess!"
The cat thinks: "She feeds me, she loves me, she takes care of me. I must be a god!"
Here's a little poem I wrote this morning:
Little Lord Kitty
Little Lord Kitty
In furry white britches
Sits by the back door
Alert to the kitchen
Mama's been cooking
And it smells delicious
Biscuits and gravy
And country fried chicken
Nodding and dozing
He sits in the sun
And waits for the signal
That dinner is done
The sound of forks raking
On dishes for scraps
And Mama's voice saying,
"Give this to the cat."
Contentedly smacking
He says to himself,
"I am Lord Kitty.
They worship me well.
I must be a god,
If not me, who else?"
Hope you have a good weekend, this last weekend of April, 2012. It's half price weekend at the Good Will stores of East Tennessee! I'll look for my fellow treasure hunters there.
Be Well and Good Luck,
