The Sacred Meow Society

I'm late to the 
Meeting on purpose.
My back left paw
Needed 10 or 12 
More licks.

Another write-up
Headed my way.
So what?
None of us can 
Write or read anyway.

The Society is not 
What it used to be.
The Calicos hog the floor.
Between coughing 
Up hair balls
They espouse on 
Innovative scratching posts
And the hidden 
Benefits of sour milk.

Siamese are the worst, though.
Not saying a word. Just 
Glaring about in creepy pairs.
"We are Siamese if you please DON'T."

I'm having a blast on my own,
Sitting in this tipped-over 
Garbage can in my cozy-dark alley
Enjoying my Heathcliff strip. 
Classic. Garfield's overwritten. 
Heathcliff's real. My old friend, 
Iglesias, a true Burmese,
Says he met the real Heathcliff 
Back in '85. I call Bull-litter.

Ah geez, 
They're rawring for me now,
Cuz it's my birthday
And they made 
Some sort of parfait
Fulla old bananas 
And moldy raisins.
So if I'm a total no-show
They're all gonna be  
Hissed off.

I better get going.
Thanks for listening 
To my PurrCast.
Don't forget to 
Lick and subscribe.
