Feline impediments to a Sunday nap

A poem.

December 12, 2013

Feline impediments to a Sunday nap Ìý

Two cats recline upon my chest; Ìý

One looketh east, one looketh west. Ìý

Kimmel silenced, as political and corporate pressures converge

One points the end that looketh south

Toward the end where ith my mouth. Ìý

When one cat stirs, the other growls;

The first one hisses through his jowls.

I try again to close my eyes Ìý

Why a government shutdown looms as Congress splits town

And hope they reach a compromise.

Instead, the two begin to circle Ìý

To better make my surface workle. Ìý

They treat me as (this makes me sore) Ìý

Floor model in a mattress store. Ìý

These two, I note, we treat as brothers

And as for cats, we have had others; Ìý

But male or female, expensive or free, Ìý

All seem to lie on top of me. – Con Chapman
