MY APOLOGIES TO MR. BOWIE

MY APOLOGIES TO MR. BOWIE

(And Herman too, for that matter)

–

Mr. Bowie’s an indoor cat,

Deterred easily by snow and that…

If he were “outdoor”

He would not implore,

A thin layer of snow is old hat.

–

When a cat’s “inside”,

Any outside weather is spied…

As excuse for the box

Behind door locks,

Clean litter will not be denied!

–

The first cat I owned had heart,

And access to a stealthy art…

With silent warning

Pusscat would be forming,

In the midst of a purr–a fart.

–

Silent cat farts are unique,

We’d had three cats that reeked…

They didn’t understand

That we thought it not grand,

Trouble breathing made it hard to speak!

–

So, most excellent Bowie, take heart,

Springtime will invade your park…

With pollen sneezes

Will come gentle breezes

To carry away any cat fart.
