A Funny Roundel

My silent calico has stopped eating to give me that look. I will ignore her, she is only a wonderful cat, right? I know she will soon be between me and my mystery book. I am her faithful adoring minion and she knows it well. I dare not even peek out of my secret well-hidden nook. I do not have to pay attention, at her green eyes so bright. Snuggles will see me, and she will give me that all-knowing look. I am clearly a cat mama, and she has me on a hook. I feel helpless, and my princess feline has me in her sight. Now she is sitting between me and a fantastic good book. I am her faithful adoring minion and she knows it well.

Thank you Eve. I am allergic to cats, but I still have one and kind of adore him.

Thank you. This is my first roundel, and not easy. It is my fifth attempt, but the only one that got put down on paper as I was satisfied with none of the others.

Whatever the form is, you made it look easy with this precious poem... I love that you know that cat is going to get between you and your book!

My daughter has a cat that always sits in her arms between her and her book, I-pad and whatever. I was basing it off her. My cat knows I am deathly allergic. He is outside, but inside in my little cottage when it is this BRRRR cold. I like cats.
