Perfect moments are far too ephemeral
Most days feel more like I've taken demerol
Sleep is all the ease I can find
Though I don't mind occasionally mounting a behind
Volunteers around here are so flighty
After "yes" the howling's far too mighty
Guess I'll just go back to dozing days
Till PUdee returns like always
The courtyard was drenched in sunlight and nekos
A lazy midday moment
Slanting rays cast dappled shadows through the slotted stand
As Nouna lay in solitary splendor amidst the newshorn grass
Comet, eager to please, pleaded her case, for once silently
While Ajax scoured the exterior of the still smoky grill
For signs of life - or remnant morsels
JJ stood silent sentinel, back clearly defined in the doorway
As is his wont when the Lady is abroad
And I? I am at peace, here beneath my PUdee's loving digits
And then
A twitter, a chirp, furious yipping
The peace is shattered
As fur flies, first forward, then inward
Motion, unrest, distress -
The campaign's over, the fight is all but done;
And life returns to placidity and coolness in our shaded den
My PUdee's back
But for how long?
Should I wait
Or start my celebratory song?
The litter box is clean once more,
The courtyard door stands open
JJ's snacking all the time
Soon he'll blow up again
Ajax and Comet,
Who've grown so much,
Now have to learn
the PUdee touch
Sweet Nouna Lady,
Queen of our home,
Is coming to terms
With the outdoor roam
And I?
I have my PUdee
for now
Kilauea has erupted on a nearby isle
Spewing forth lava in classic Pele-style
Tourists flock to see the sight
Choking on the fumes
They no longer flee in fright
Of encasement in liquid tombs
On Oahu, the Gathering Place,
Gas guzzlers add to the general haze
And so you see the warm fog in your face
Is smog-enhanced vog that's causing this daze
It's been too long
Since I've pawed a song
Here
In the blogosphere
I think I've lost what little touch
I might've had once, though not much
One more month less a week
Till I feel your cheek
Fur to skin
We both win
Been way too long to be away
Wish instead of a visit I might stay
Auwe
Catnip high
Where a neko can touch the sky
You know he'd be a poorer Boy
If he never ripped the kitty's thigh
You know he'd be a poorer Boy
If he never ripped the kitty's thigh
Yes, another catnip high
Catnip high
Why? Oh why? . . .
Catnip high
Doo do doo de doo...
Catnip high
Touch the sky with your catnip high
Got my picture on an iPhone
Just wish I weren't so all alone
Except I'm not
Cuz JJ keeps me hot
Cuddling up to keep warm
Just the winter norm
Then there are the Gurlz
Especially the one that twirls
I kinda like when she comes around
Except for the other one with that ringing sound
Eh, time to take another nap
This life of leisure is such a snap
Happy New Year to you all
This one's gonna be a ball!
