Balboa-my cat-a real life-blog-poem

The baby is whining
He never shuts up
I hope this catnip
Will do the trick
Just wait what
Six weeks for
Some sign of growth
Then kill the plant
So he can eat it
And get a little relief
For an hour or two

Will I ever be able to deal with children
When this cat
Can drive me so mad
I would gladly throw him
If it would make any difference
I know it won’t
So I just listen to that
Over and over noise

MEOW MEOW
MEOW

While my head says

SHUT UP SHUT UP
SHUT UP

Like a congo drum
The beat goes on
Through the night
Into the morn
Rescue me
From this repetition
Of what is by no means
A smart animal

Basically just a dumb human
With fur
That walks on all fours
And wants food
And attention
Is a baby

God
Help us all
If I am ever a dad
I pray for the strength
To have new views
And first
To learn to deal
With the cats

I can relate to this cat poem. I'm a cat lover so I set aside time to frolic with her. If I don't she will take out her revenge on my plants. Sometimes I think she is one of those evil humans reincarnated, lol.

Cheers
