Hello again!
I’m still here - this week I’ve been mostly focused on getting some competition/submissions in for poetry and short stories. I’m still waiting to hear back from a couple of places for my novel, but that’s probably a long game.
Still, you look like you need a wry smile. Here’s something that might help.
Only The Cat
What’s that noise They discuss in bed Stairs creak She enters and sighs Only the cat I put out the netting to catch The rats who spy I keep the room secure And still they will say Only the cat I pull the trap taught The slightest trip Will foil the attack But still they will say Only the cat I charge the drill The better to kill Should I be discovered Yet I bet they will say Only the cat The shotgun points At the window No mercy I’ll never be blamed I’m Only the cat I built the flamethrower From a lighter and paraffin To stop heroes getting in Some know that I’m not Only the cat My collar has a button that Starts the destruction Of this human creation They will discover I’m not Only the cat My tail knocks the candlestick What’s that noise Stairs creak I hide everything they think it’s Only the cat
