Choc a Little Or Chocalate With Kittens

Choc A Little Or Chocolate With Kittens

Warm sweet chocolate, creamy smooth
Cools off in aluminum baking trays
Laid out on the kitchen table on display
Gentle little paws dip cautiously at first
Test the gooey surface
Kittens waste no time, become immersed in brown sauce
Soft fury white things, warm pink bellies, pounce
Jump at the chance for mischief in the deep sweet 
Roll around in chocolate
How neat!
Kittens lick their paws; make cute mew sounds with tiny lips
Unable to make mature meow inflections yet
Mother cat watches, stretches in a yawn, meows back
Helps them to master their language skills with another “meow”
As they mew some more, prance about, turning another color

Maurice Yvonne April 17, 2015 at 5:17 PM WOW, this shows a wonderful soft side of your being. I really enjoyed reading it. By the way you look so much younger then when I last saw you! Earl Schumacker April 18, 2015 at 10:52 AM Hi Maurice, Thank you so much for your kind words. As for my looks; well, I'm not really myself. Perhaps I am someone else. Truth is; I have no pictures of myself and I am not all that familiar with downloading pictures. I am 64. I know that much. My avatar is called "Innocence." I got it from the internet. The important thing is the writing. Thanks again. Have a great week end. Earl
