The Beginning At Last

Imitation Is…

Who is this devil I see?

Why, he’s almost as handsome as me!

He’s watching me, I’m watching back

Why don’t you go find a small mouse to attack?

Stop mimicking me, foolish cat!

I’ve really no interest in that

Why are you tilting your big head at me?

You’re not funny at all, don’t you see?

Lower your paw, I’ll drop mine

You really are crossing a line!

I don’t know your name,

But I don’t like your games!

So…

I’m telling Mom!

*Trots away*

    That’s so funny. I love your poem. Very much fun. Although, not always fun for the cat, depending on it’s mood.

        Yes, I do. The No Theme Thursday one. I throw a bunch of images out, folks pick one (or however many) they like, and write whatever they feel about it. No rules really. Pretty much a free for all for folks to just create!
