The Poetess and the Pussy

Teddy.15

 

A great Poet once told me

“those who have never experienced madness

at least once in their lives, have never lived”

 

so here goes,

one Sunday evening

whilst I was rummaging through a garbage bin down town

looking for scraps 

I was tapped on the shoulder

by a cat

he said…

“eh up, save something for me”

I replied…

I hate my life; I want to die

to be honest, I can’t believe I shared that with a cat

 

the cat, then replied…

well at least when your gone your gone

I’ve got eight more f…… lives to live.

              'at least when you're gone, you're gone
              I’ve still got eight more f…… lives to live'
              Ha!
              always goo to be reminded, others
              may have it worse
              thanks for the chuckles my friend
              your choice of cat fits well
              with that snide witty persona
              they would so say it like that
              lol
              great fun! thank you

              • Teddy.15

                  Dearest Teddy, as Sheldon on the "Big Bang Theory" would say "Bazinga!" From the Van Gogh-esque pic, to the caricature of the cat, along with the zinger at the end, this is priceless. What is life without a little madness. You made my day!

                  • Teddy.15

                      Fun is what I can say about this write. Yes I agree you have not lived unless you have seen insanity, faced death, loved, and lost all.

                      • Teddy.15

                        LOL how lovely that you found this one, it's one of my personal favourites dearest sorrenbarret thank you so much.. 🌹

                        This is a marvelously penned piece of literary surrealism here Teddy.15, which is handsomely adorned by a beautiful picture.

                        I also wholeheartedly agree with the quote, madness is an avenue that must be traversed, in order to live a full life.

                        Bravo, and I hope that all is well.

                        • Teddy.15

                          So very kind, thank you for coming by to leave such kind words Auburnscribbler, I hope you stay safe in the UK at this very strange and deeply concerning moment. 🌹

                          • AuburnScribbler

                            You are most welcome Teddy.15, and yeah, I am keeping away from those riots for sure!
