NO THANK YOU
No I do not want a kitten,
No cute, cuddly kitty-poo,
No more long hair in my cornflakes,
No more midnight meowing mews.
No I do not want a kitten,
No cute, cuddly kitty-poo,
No more long hair in my cornflakes,
No more midnight meowing mews.
No more scratchin’, snarlin’, spitters,
No more sofas clawed to shreds,
No more smell of kitty litter,
No more mousies in my bed.
No I will not take that kitten—
I’ve had lice and I’ve had FLEAS,
I’ve been scratched and sprayed and bitten,
I’ve developed allergies.
If you’ve got an ape, I’ll take him,
If you have a lion, that’s fine,
If you brought some walking bacon,
Leave him here, I’ll treat him kind.
I have room for mice and gerbils,
I have beds for boars and bats,
But please, please take away that kitten—
Quick—‘fore it becomes a cat.
Well… it is kind of cute at that.
That is a poem written by Shel Silverstein that pretty much sums up my feelings about my roommates’ cat right about now…
except the last line.

I was totally ready to give you full credit for that poem, especially the walking bacon part. Shel Silverstein got me through many a long library-hour in elementary school.
Don't think I've forgotten coming home to you and Milo snuggled up on the couch...that's all I have to say in response to this poem!
