it's hard to find an audience in a pandemic


 

My cat’s become so critical of the pieces that I write he kneads to express his opinion and he always thinks he’s right. He twitches his ear-itation if I don't write in Senryus. If what I write displeases him he’s under the bed for refuge. He’s worse than many teachers - his reviews are seldom neutered - he pointedly wags that twitchy tail or cat-calls disapproval. He laid across my laptop for half the afternoon ‘til I promised an ode to tuna which earned purrs of hallelujah!

Haha, another truly wonderful write. Your rhyme scheme worked wonderfully, even with the off-rhymes.

A cute rhyme about your kitty. Cats do seem to have a mind of their own and it sounds like Belichik has you wrapped around his little furry paw. Happy Friday! :)

One of your short stories, "Lesson if Love", was about Belichik. :)
