Meow Meow Meow 

 

By Sharon Lea

 

I chat with my cats

as I shelter in place

I'm fluent in meow meow

a conversational pace

we talk about toys

knocking cups off tables

scratching the couch

ripping off some labels

my cats are my buddies

they are never a bore

but sometimes I find

piles of puke on the floor

my cats tell me tales

in the middle of the night

as they pounce on my back

I awake in such fright

my cats are my buddies

they make me laugh

but they make me bleed

and scratch my calf

I chat with my cats

as I shelter at home

I love my cats dearly

now where is my comb?
