Love is Blind

 

 

 

 

 

 

One morning she lies in her bed

and looks at him, the cat she wed

 

She's happy as a puss can be

for he and she are now a we

 

She met him just the night before

behind some bushes right next door

 

And though no moon lit up the skies

and she could only see his eyes

 

The light within them turned her on

and they were wed before the dawn

 

Now she looks down at his sweet face

and strokes his nose so she can trace

 

The line dividing his black cheeks

as white as all his other streaks

 

Then suddenly she cries, 'Oh my,

what is that smell, has something died?'

 

But he was having a bad dream

and let out an ungodly scream

 

'We are in mortal danger, run,

I will protect you, honey bun!'

 

And fast away that cat did fly

and did not even say good-bye

 

For she had learned and will all tell

that love is blind but still can smell!

Yes, what the dark hides, the light brings to view (and to smell, too!) Thanks for the insightful comment, Jacob. You always hit the nail right on the proverbial head.

Thanks, Tom. Your YouTube video was adorable - Pepe at his finest. Those old toons were the best!

LOLOL yes I thought he sounded like a skunk near the end. This is too funny Joyce and I giggled my way through. Love your humour in this and those rhyming couplets flow flawlessly. One of my favourites!. It romped and danced it's humourous intent right through.
Love it!

Thanks for you nice words. They make me smile, even at 2 AM.

Great wit but I feel more pity for the skunk, he couldn't help himself !

[Joyce S. Greene]

Poor guy, just trying to protect her. ;) Thanks for stopping by to let me know your take on my poem, Tom. I can't sleep but I'm still smiling.

That'll teach her to get mixed up with an alley cat! :) Delightfully witty, Joyce!

[Joyce S. Greene]

Wonder what else that "cat" 's been up to? lol Enjoy your comments and your poetry, Rita. Thank you for reviewing my poem.

This was absolutely delightful! I love the rhyme and cats were just perfectly matched until...
