SoOrbudgal Those are ginger kitties, gal!!! No, those two are gone, that's a picture from my old texas days.

Thanks for the poem alltatup ! Not often a woman gives me poetry. Better still that it's personalized. The best gifts are made by hand. Socially distanced XOXO to you, my sweet one.

Gingerbeard I will make this attempt to quell your fears of being attacked, banned, blocked, ripped, torn, or bloodied in any way:

Ode to the forum member gingerbeard

Oh gingerbeard please put to rest
those heavy feelings 'pon your chest;
we'd love for you to stay and chat,
just don't be hatin on my cat.

At times someone will try to snipe,
It's time to pause and light a pipe.
To leave us please don't make a beeline,
please show some kindness to my feline.

Life is short, too short to squander:
All I ask is that you ponder
The joys of friendship with a pussy,
Dogs are fine, just don't be fussy.

William Carlos Williams didn't know shit about cats...

Pick your favorite, GB, and recite it to us...

Man, I don't make this shit up. I can't make this shit up! There are too many cat lovers in here who would start ripping me and calling me names that have always made me feel bad. A few have threatened to block me. Or ban me. I lost track. Everything is on the up-and-up. In print and everything.

There is a poem that is 'Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe' - by Jack. I have no f cking idea who Jack is but he is a goddamn horrible poet!

I agree, RagWeedDWC. There hasn't been much hate, considering the title being what it is, and all, just skimming through. I'm considering taking a pencil to a few of them to introduce more negativity. Like 'Mad-libs'. A verb here. An adjective there. I'll hate things up but good. I'm a ginger, remember. We have refined methods of hate. Might get on it before I have my first dab in the morning. Maybe before coffee when the hate is groggy and not expecting it. Yeahhhhhhhh...

[RagWeedDWC]

Plums and cats? Where is the hate in that, did I miss something besides I didn't know you liked cats?

Sorry

Didn't know
you have one.

To a Poor Old Woman
By William Carlos Williams
Ahem...

munching a plum on
the street a paper bag
of them in her hand

They taste good to her
They taste good
to her. They taste
good to her

You can see it by
the way she gives herself
to the one half
sucked out in her hand

Comforted
a solace of ripe plums
seeming to fill the air
They taste good to her

My neighbor just handed me a book called "Hate That Cat". I've only skimmed through it. Poetry, man. Sheer poetry. Like, seriously. It's a book of poems about cats.

Someone come on and shoot me a number between 1-148 and I'll share the poem on that page. alltatup I know you want in on this. You might be surprised at what you pick.
