Once Upon a Cat

hear me roar

Once upon a Cat

 

As I crawled amongst the bush and weed--- I came

upon a one-eyed  cat--- that was really, really fat--- that

looked pretty much like a hungry lion. I soiled my pants, got up,

and did a belly dance--- as it mewled and  roared away. It

sniffed my crotch-- as I watched-- the vultures circle  patiently---

for their tongue licking bone cracking fiddle pickled lunch.

 

As it was just about to bite through my thigh I saw a dead

fly wedged in its eye. Without any doubt--- I plucked it out ---

as the puss and blood oozed all about.  The lion stared at me

with two good eyes---and with a lick on my cheek---said its goodbyes.

I remain grateful to this very day--- to that little fly--- that flew and died

and committed suicide---  in that big cats bleary teary eye.
