Googling Cats

When life has me down
On the mats
Running circles
Doing laps
Short of breath
Losing bets
I go to the internet 
And Google cats... 

I see water colored
Cats as art
Cats with wings
Swinging stars
Cats that sing
Cats that bathe
Dressed like Pirates 
Sailing lakes
Cats that bark
Just like dogs
Cats with friends
Playing cards
Cats that jump
But not that far
Catching air
While missing marks
Cats in Charlie Chaplin hats
Using credit
Who's got cash
Cats that eat 
Silly String 
Freak out when
The doorbell rings
Cats that talk
Like babies do
Where their meow 
Sounds like goo goo
Cats in color
Black and white
Chase other cats
Run from mice
Where my kids say
That's nothing new
I'm sure some of you
Have seen it too

But like I said
When life gets bad
Where sanity 
Is barely kept
I close my door
And lock the latch
Go to the internet 
And Google cats..

My daughter is facing serious surgery and will be laid up several months. She is also a serious cat lover! I sent this to her, giving you credit and showing your copyright.

Indeed, cats are charmers and disarmers of stress and strife that bogs us down in our life. Your poem is delightful, Mike. Happy weekend. :) ~ Artsie
