LC Is Out And About! A Poem of Frustration?
LC is Out and About
I can’t find LC anywhere.
(and she’s not wearing underwear).
I found her almost compromised
by a mangy tom with shifty eyes.
The tantrum I threw
was decidedly blue.
At least the firecat male
brought a gift of a dead bird
that she was accepting too sweetly,
I stormed, “Oh not, I won’t hear a word!
If he hasn’t a trust fund or hasn’t incurred
wealth from his stealth that doesn’t concur
with his charms at seducing beauties!”
LC is obviously out and about,
with no chaperone and nary a doubt
about the intentions of males.
Who then slink off,
licking their tails.
Dear Giorgio: I had to check my comments to see what you were referring to. I had NO idea that CW's question had anything to do with you. But LC emerged and is trying to roll on the computer keys. She was hiding beneath silk and lace on a chair in the dining room, filled with grace.
@Questor: Because I typed this straight onto the keyboard and that was the first rhyme that popped into my head to indicate that LC was in heat. I am now involved in a Romeo and Juliet situation, where Romeo is a 60-year-old derelict wino playing the balcony scene with my sweet little cat. How dare she react!
(Oh, I don't know how they do it in England, but in the U.S., we let our cats run naked. Much to our shame.)
@BB: This was a little stray kitten that decided to adopt this house. I've been calling around, and imagine my horror to discover it costs over $200 to get a cat spayed nowadays. I would discuss this in terms of pounds, but then my idiotic sense of humor would kick in to make mention of Asian cuisine. Please forgive for such a thought, but darn it, the joke is so ubiquitous!
Texas Heaven: As far as I know, our LC FC FB has not gone missing, and would never even turn a head at the glances of a mangy old stray. It was my LC to whom I referred, although I do sympathize most truly with all the tomcat teens who lurked around our house.
@CW: Welcome to my world. Let's simply switch "mini-skirts" to rubies and pearls.
@Iggy: the mouse ate her HAIR? I have had many a mouse, and none has so dared. By the way, no matter how cute the idea seems in theory, it is a bad idea to cuddle a mouse and a cat together.
@Doe: What a wonderful answer! You made me laugh. There are many little flickers, I know.

...If lace table cloths could talk,
or certain cool, dark hidden places,
out of viewing range, in those large,
innocent seeming Azalea bushes.
It's scandalous enough to have
put Truman Capote (RIP) on the
20th Century Limited, portable Royal in lap,
headed your way.
It's a mystery reserved for cats,
and if only we could read the meaning in
those eyes. we could spare ourselves much frustration.
A "felinaciously" clever poem, adeline.
It's all in the cat's eyes and
the eyes have it.

I love the picture of life with cats this evokes.
My cat often goes missing, but usually turns up when it is time to be fed.
I haven't had a gift of a bird, but mice are quite common. My favourite story was when my cat brought home a live one. My daughter saw her drop the mouse and did nothing, just laughed about it. That evening she awoke with the mouse on her pillow eating her hair. We could tell it was eating hair because some was noticeably missing. She refused to sleep in her room until I caught the mouse. Quite a task given the state of her room. True to form the cat did nothing to help.
I hope you manage to chase down LC, underwear or no ;)

Oh our LC must be giggling silly not wearing any underwear, but no I know you refer to your LC but funny still! This is a cute poem that made me smile and sigh with relief that a mangy tom didn't get his way! The only word I might change would be instead of licking their tails I would say flicking their tails; they are little flickers you know- haaaaaa.

Hi Adeline, should we form a search party and are ya talkin about yer Kitty or our LC here?
If this is about yer kitty, and in yer losses I hope this will be resolved OK.

Your poem started out quite titillating, but instead of mini skirts, I got a dead bird.
--lol--funny stuff.
