My Cats Hat

My cat has a hat
Even though it’s quite hat
I call it a plate,
Because it’s really quite straight

He says it looks cool
When he jumps in the pool
Ohh sure,
He’s SOOOO mature
He’s only three,
He can’t even climb a tree!

My cat has a hat.

Splash

Next time before you drink
You should stop and think!
Water got EVERYWHERE!
My nose,
My toes,
My eyes,
My hair.
It started with a sploosh
And ended with a splash
But instead of stopping to think,
I blanked out and dashed.

SSSSSHHHHHH!!!

Ssshhhh he’s coming
A big ugly monster
We don’t want him to find us so be quiet
Ssshhhh he’s near
Be still and quiet
We don’t want him to eat us so be quiet
Ssshhhh he’s right here
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HE’S GOING TO EAT US!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Not Like Before

Walking down the aisle
Lowered eyes
Bent heads
Tears fall
But we don’t bother
To wipe them up

We walk back
To the part that I dread
Because they always say the same thing-
That they’re sorry, but it’ll be okay
I believe them,
That it will be okay
But for now it’s not
I’m not

We go back to the house
Empty when we’re not there
But one by one we go
Leaving it like a graveyard-
Too quiet, too lonely, too cold
Not right
Not like before
