Evening Of The Cat (poem)
He planned every moment for this
And hoped there was nothing amiss
To mar with his evening of bliss
A treasure he’ll long reminisce
-
But then came the sound
Of that darn cat next door
Making all kinds of noise outside
Not tonight please not tonight
-
His window he close to noise
And focuses back on his poise
With sound of sweet music he toys
Perhaps it will boost evening’s Joys
-
But that darn cat outside
He can still hear it’s hellish meowing
Crying to a lovers’ moon
The one he will be robbed of
-
Just maybe in time cat will leave
He still had enchantments to weave
His delight his senses retrieve
In moments with dream he will cleave
-
Still that incessant cat
Pestering festering his every last nerve
Until through window he shouted
Can’t you please shut up
And there was quite
-
Perfection now ready for her
With all that a heart could confer
He wondered what wonders would stir
When he made the one he loved purr
-
But insanity aroused
As the cat continued its nightmarish chorus
Causing him to retreat for a friend
And as he and the rifle opened the door
Who was waiting there
