Inquisitive kittens, as everyone knows
Would not simply...

and braces on her buck teeth,

Wanted to retire, so planned one last job
It was deep winter and it started to snow

wafting in this dank whiskey inn,
are falling on wide-open ears, except,
your mousey annoying voice lacerates my brain 
with claws that rip and tear and impale,
yet, I desire more of this, here

Came the sound of thunder from the open door
As Big Bad Bart replaced the space
Giant mountain man of lore

Making his way into the bar
Sweeping Nancy boys out of his way
Stepping up...

A mouse who didn't eat cheese
He would like to have a choice
Of anything he pleased

You can tell that by his name
He liked all kinds of things
Not everything the...

Yes, I talk to my cat...
it’s good therapy and 
soothes her wandering...claws.
Over the years I’ve exercised
my imagination on her neurons.

I’ve told here things you

it’s for a good laugh.

She’s fascinated whenever

While drinking imported Chablis 
As people passed by, from the corner of my eye

She lives in a field in BrushCreek, Tennessee,
Walking with her her of cattle,

And i could make her as happy as...

That which further
Obfuscates the scene

Mousey and silent
Each flake falls
Like the wings of
An...

Alone against the backdrop of hazed mountain
lone fireflies pour from moon’s lightning fountain
challenging the red faced lady bugs
to go away - there’d be no parting hugs

Obese owls...
