Dog gone it
My bills dog me /
Dollar signs dressed in due dates /
Nipping at my heart.

“Back down”
Back down
Back down to the floor. /
Heart upward toward the ceiling. /
Belly scratch ready.

“Party”
Party
The party is dull. /
The dog knows whom she wants. /
My date acts catty.

Truth
Digging up answers /
Is just like digging up bones. /
Results we’ll bury.

Sunday silliness: “Fainting tree”
Fainting tree
Oh, those fainting Christmas trees.
They are a sight to see,
Can’t be left alone, can’t be.
You went to spread some cheer,
So let me be clear,
It wasn’t me here,
It was the cat.
Like the serpent in the tree,
She tempted me
And now you see
Where we’re at.
She challenged me,
Said I couldn’t be free,
That there would be
No Christmas present for me
Unless I ran around the tree
And that’s when it went ker-splat.
It fainted dead away.
I don’t know what to say.
It fainted that way.
The power cord’s now frayed.
Yes, it happened today.
I blame the cat.
Yes, sparks flew,
There was a spark or two,
Arcing a translucent blue,
Singed the cat through and through.
No, I don’t know where she’s at.
So, those fainting Christmas trees,
Looks like they just can’t be
Left unattended, you see.
I think we can right the tree,
Set it up to be
Fully faint free
With no cat calamity
Without the cat.

Comin’ home?
When ya comin’ home? /
Lonely as the last flower. /
Come toss me a bone.

Eyes
The eyes from the floor /
speak no words, but implore: /
no more. Don’t ignore.
