alley cat of Allen town
ebony like a puma, velvet pretty
she prowls and growls and moans in her sleep
like a little black dress, fashionably chic and insightful
there is purring now, her dreams might have shifted
the toms in the alley remain in hiding, fearful
she can be such a tease, and sometimes a torment
her scratches are serious; she is not afraid to

I asked, What kind of music do you like the best?

We are bongo playing cats

The Alley Cat Blues
I am tired of not being hugged,
my owner moved and left me behind,
searching for a roof over my head,
dreaming of a soft and comfy bed.
I'm singing the alley cat blues.
One time I was pampered and ate like a queen,
gourmet cans filled with fancy fish treats,
enjoyed taking a nap on a floral wing back chair,

ALLEY CAT
The city alley kitten is fire boned
body electrified in barbed wire fur
snarling ferocious wild fear bigger
than its raging dot of an existence
hissed from behind garbage cans
at this naïve boy also determined
to make this kitten a pet upstairs
in our three room cold water flat
armed with a trapper’s

The Alley Cat At Midnite
The storm thrashed the sides of the house
trees bend to touch the ground
rain drops fall heavily on fragile leaves
gutters fill to overflowing
spilling its slobber onto the dry streets
Midnight clouds give no cover to exposed hearts
burdened with an intense need for a dose of love,
but there is always the promise of her door opening
and

Alley Cat, Alley cat
Alley cat, alley cat
Can you imagine that?
A black skunk crossed your path,
And that's a fact, is that a flash?
Of another smelly cat, smelly cat
Can you really imagine that?
That smelly cat fought the skunk
Now smelly cat looks like a punk,
The cat's fur is spiked up in the air
And can't get it down without

Can you imagine that?
A black skunk crossed your path,
And that’s a fact, is that a flash?
Of another smelly cat, smelly cat
Can you imagine that?
That smelly cat fought the skunk
Now smelly cat looks like it got punked.
The cat’s fur is spiked up in the air quipping
And can’t get it down

Alley Cat
once there was a girl
with big green eyes
yet before the sun
was fully seen,
(big surprise) someone
unfurled the girl-
what more- what poor
poor innocent soul
who suffered the toll
some body stole.
how sweet it was-
remeet me cuz
i'm gone. so smart
such great potential-
starving artist (seemingly
essential) make me
what you want to
see; i'll be whoever,
i'll do it with glee,
(when i cannot see)
i trust
