Outer Space Cat

I watched in the dark shadows, hidden by the brick wall. The cat was magical, he leaned back but did not fall. He was getting instructions from a spaceship so high. I heard him arguing a bit, but then he added with a sigh I will do as you say, but you have to give me power. It was a mystical thing to say, at this witching hour. Three a.m. and why was I awake anyway so early today? I wanted to leave, but curiosity would not take me away. The cat nodded and turned, staring into the bushes hard. I was shocked to death, feeling quivery as yesterday’s lard. His eyes narrowed and he stared right at my eyes. I held a hand over my mouth, scared with enormous surprise. He was a powerful cat from outer space you see. And I did not want this magical tom coming after me. Luckily, the smell of tuna down the street got his attention. Allowing me to sneak away, with no real contention.

Hello Caren, go ahead and write because your pen wants to flow. How many poems have you done? Wish my ideas would come that quickly. Hugs.

Thank you Darlene. I am writing poems like mad trying to get one more gold on AP so I can level up. That last gold is always horrible to get.

I would be scared out of my mind if I encountered a space cat! I liked "quivery as yesterday's lard." Ha!

I dare say you would get in the space ship and go along to see where he was going and what he was about, and I would already be onboard, Hank.
