M. L. Kiser Poet Prose

A Great Day

Dear diary, it has been a great day.
I found a penny on the carpet,
played with it awhile and then made a wish.
I won’t tell you what it is but,
maybe the dog will disappear.

Mom’s got a new ‘puter,
I tried it out when she went to work,
I used her credit card to buy some 
gourmet cat treats.
That online shopping sure is easy,
so, I bought some for my friends too;
the whole neighborhood gon’na love me now!
They must be pretty tasty at
$22.00 an ounce.
It sure was nice of her to leave
herself logged on,
 when she bought my new litter box.

I know I probably don’t deserve it
‘cause I accidentally shredded her 
new underwear last week, 
while playing with it; 
clearly I’m forgiven.

That new cat in the neighborhood
has it bad for me;
this morning, Mom let one of those
“cuss’ords” rip, when she saw a 
dead robin on the front porch;
Oscar is always bringing me meat.
Frankly, it’s barbaric,
I am a domestic feline;
he doesn’t realize 
I only eat canned food.
Once he tastes those treats
he'll stop that.

Okay so, I got’ta go now and 
grab Butch’s supper.

Caren Krutsinger December 1, 2019 at 9:05 AM Oh you are a devil cat! M. L. Kiser December 1, 2019 at 9:11 AM Ha, that was a fun write. I did used to have a cat next door that brought dead things to my door for my cat. She couldn't stand him. I looked out one morning and there was the biggest dove, on it's back, legs stiff in the air, on my front porch. It was wild.
