Eating Jello With Crazy Cat Lady

She is the eclectic cat lady
Pretty in pink wearing a daisy
You be the judge I think she's crazy
Bobby sock chic her scarf's paisley

One big duffle with many cats inside
she will show them off with the utmost pride
In the bag you can hear them collide
Still they never stray far from her side

When the bag opens it's quite a scene
To my great surprise she has thirteen
Her favorite one his name is Dean
the smallest cat she calls Jelly Bean

As for me I am more of a dog guy
If you smelled her cats you would know why
When the cats see my dogs they sure jump high
Boy oh boy does the fur ever fly

I am the friendly dog loving fellow
My dogs love the sound of my Cello
They sing along while dressed in Yellow
Cat lady smiles while feeding us jello.

For Line Gauthier's "Crazy Cat Lady" Contest. January 2, 2018.

My first poem of the new year.

You called upon your imagination for this one, and then allowed it to completely take over which entertained me in an amusing, glee stirring and incredulous way - I think I got high from silly. Is that possible? Still buzzed, I leave poetry hugs, but I'm taking my grin that you earned ... CayCay
