New Dog Meets the Queen - Hlm

new dog on the porch
our pet cat at the window
shrieks like a banshee

Indignation hair-raisingly sounded
when our “queen” cat was more than astounded
by the new pet Dad brought
to the house. Cat wailed “NOT
on MY watch.” Then that poor dog she hounded.

our cat’s hissy fit goes down as the worst in her catdom’s hiss-tory.


Jan. 25, 2022
For Charles Messina's Charlie Hai-Lim-Ku Poetry Contest

(inspired by a YouTube Video I saw on FB. it just cracks me up)

I watched the video first, didn't look like the cat had any use for a dog in the house. lol It was quite entertaining though. Thanks for sharing, Andrea, Bill

i just loved the way the cat looks behind herself as if someone is there, and she makes a face with a hiss. it cracked me up

Poor dog. Cats are known to be vindictive.
