Notes About The Poem

Hey You, Bandit

Hey, you, chillin’ in my spot, why did you not ask if I’d mind you sitting there in your Bandit’s mask? Couch potato (not some man) just a real cool cat. Where’d you get your cattitude? I want some of THAT. Where might be my popcorn bowl left where you now sit? Did you steal it? Because I wanted more of it! With your bushy big black tail - knowing what to do - you sit comfy on your tush; making me serve YOU! Here’s a kitty treat, ok? Roly poly pet, let me rub your tummy tum. How purr-fect you get!

I love love that last line Andrea! In fact that whole last stanza is so true about cats! They always want that treat, and will love that rub on their tummy...though sometimes they get feisty and don't want that rub! I surely loved your incredible write this morning my friend! My sister is a crazy cat lady, if she could she would have dozens of them! But alas her significant other will only allow one! But that doesn't stop her from loving on any cat that she sees! Great Work!!

Hey, hey, this is a so funny cool poem, Andrea! It made me smile throughout. Cattitude, eh ... such an ultra-cool word. 'Fraid I'm gon have to use that word somewhere down the line, w/your artistic permission of course. Very humorous poem, nice pic too. Love and smiles always.
