Katskills

What do I have to do, to get some respect, at my poetry place? I get rude comments from my nemesis, KatSkills, every single day! How does KatSkills steal my ideas for my best poems, anyway? How does she know to enter every contest I do, with my ideas, I say? And why does Dragon always giggle, when of this, I do complain? It seems a bit strange… There’s something, I don’t know? You say? At least, my cat stays close, soothing me, as my words begin to flow. Then Dragon and Kitty were behind the curtain wall, in a free-for-all! As Hubby pulled the curtains back, you’ll never guess what we saw! Ms. Kitty was in Dragons’ lap with a computer keyboard in her paws! What? She’s my nemesis KatSkills! Well! What do you think of that? She’s stealing ideas from Hubby and me, and plaguing me? Ah! Drat! Dragon’s wasn’t getting famous, fast enough, so he hired her to write? Now, he’s driving her crazy, as he plagues her, every day and night? He changes the stories, and never stops complaining. You do say? But hitting Dragon with a keyboard, won’t solve that, today or any day! Dragon’s nemesis, The Sheriff of CrazyLand, wants to hire her away? This keeps getting, better and better, is all that I can say! But it’ll be OK. Being over-whelmed, we took her under our wing, with advice, so sage. Apparently, it takes a village, to keep a cat, happy and satisfied, today. We sent her to the Sheriff of Crazyland, on a weeks’ vacation, to abide. She’ll be writing for great food, more attention and new toys, I surmise. Distance makes a heart grow fonder, and a vacation from Dragon is OK. And school will be starting soon, so she’ll be back and full of kitty play. Then tutoring her on poetry, will help her to, steal our hearts away. Besides, you can’t keep a good writer down, not KatSkills, anyway! Uh- Huh! No way! It’s true! And with that, I bid you a fond adieu… From Katskills, Dragon, and even us… For another day, so true…
