The Calico Box Crab Roadside Circus

I recall clearly,  my mom took me to peek
at the calico box crab roadside circus freak.
Some kids have a tooth fairy, my reward, more oblique. 
I stood, mouth agape, quite unable to speak.
I had a strange childhood, you might call it unique, 
before reaching adulthood, employment to seek.

The Calico Box Crab Man

We found the calico box crab man
with leathery skin and a deep, dark tan.  
He gave us soup that was filled with nails,
squirrel bones and catfish entrails. 
As he told his tale and we heard him speak, 
the sky would cry, and the ceiling, leak.

The Calico Box Crab Theme

I heard the calico box crab theme
as I nestled warmly by a trout-filled stream.
I saw the hare and tortoise dance,
and wondered if it was romance,
or just an addled dream.

The Calico Box Crab Freight

I was only eight
when I caught the calico box crab freight. 
Just a small-town crab-boy in tattered britches,
I found my way to fame and riches, 
loaded in a crate.

The Calico Box Crab

Once, an aged fisherman was heard to speak
from a boat on the shore of Chesapeake Bay.
His voice, like every bone and plank that did creak,
(as the ocean waves came in to splash and spray)
about a creature, singular and unique,
"'twas eighty-seven years ago to the day. 
When I was just up to a grasshopper's knee 
I

Calico Cat Titty

Calico cat was curiously itty bitty
She had moved to Iowa from New York City
Taking a liking to her was a dog named Smitty
She was playful and fun, extremely witty

Handsome Mr. Mitty said it is such a pity.
For he also had set his cap on this cat named Titty.
Titty the calico cat penned a wonderful ditty.

Encounter with a Calico Cat

       a calico cat
         and I met

Dear Calico Cat

Dear calico cat your colors splat,
in oranges and golds and fortified blacks.
A pallet for the eyes to see your rich
fur tapestry..
The sun embraces your royalty.
How glorious is God's gift to thee.

Calico Cat and Madras Pretty

A calico cat and a madras pretty
    thought they were oh-so-witty

  Shacked up together on a rainy day
    colors blended to mud ~ poor baby kitty

Fluffy Calico Cat

Fluffy calico cat strutted as if she were a male
Flashing about her fantastic signature tail
Cats on both sides of the alley got out of her way
Envious of confidence that grew every day.

Ms Calico

Ms Calico, who comes to me
only on her terms~ obstinately not 
at my beck-and-call. Ms Calico 
arrives demanding her tuna, fresh from
the can...purrs like an angel
dreaming, her glossy coat licked
proper and gleaming.

No, is never my option when tending 
to her needs, myself feeling quite under review
when performing orderly deeds; seen her torture 
mice and birds

My Calico Tears Fall

     Charcoal black, is this summer, humid night.
     All five feral cats disappeared from sight.

     They are part of the our ecosystem. 
     But, I look out the window and miss them.

     They played like

Cardinal Killer

Warm cuddle curled
Up next to me
Cardinal killer
Jasmine
Your human was six
When she asked
For a Calico
Next day 
A white black and gold ball of love
Joined our family
Full grown
In cat years at least
One year older than 
The one you've been 
Sweet loving companion to
And now her daughter, too
Never a mouse in the house where
You lived
That crimson clump of

Ethereal Calico Cat

Ethereal calico cat has eighteen lives
Nine for other felines, but this kind jives
She is mystically, magically surreal,
Surviving much longer; it’s a calico deal.

Calico Cat Knew What To Do

Dog and the mule came to the outer space challenge without a clue.
Calico Cat arrived fully prepared, knowing exactly what to do.
The dog and the mule resented her at first, for she was so smart.
But she knew how to speak in a gentle way; it was a great start.

She also shared, and she taught them
