Like A Normal Person, I Wrote An Oddly Simplistic Poem

Guys, to give you a little "peak behind the scenes", we here at the stations need to write up a little something twice a day.

And, of course, the company totally helps with that.  They help us with suggestions, ideas, and a little guidance here and there.  Most of the time we end up writing about stuff that's important to you and your family, and stuff that you might find funny or amusing.

One suggestion I saw from the company was to try writing a non-news or opinion piece.  Like a short story, or a poem!  So, I decided to try that to talk about the joys of what's going on in my household lately. Now keep in mind, I'm not saying this is GOOD.  This is just... a thing I did.

Someone asked me recently

“Aren’t you bored? Aren’t you lonely?”

I simply responded, innocently,

“No, I have a cat.”

“Oh, you’re one of those, a crazy cat lady!

You’re working every day for a beast

That can’t pick between you and Wayne Brady!

What’s wrong with you, do you need a priest?”

What’s wrong?  What’s right?

What’s the point of getting into this fight?

Let me spell out for you, just bring you into the light.

Do I need love and affection?

Do I need a deeper connection?

Do I need biscuits made on my midsection?

No, I’m good.  I have a cat.

Do I need a yarn ball to catch?

Do I need an eyepatch?

Maybe I did deserve that scratch

After all, I have a cat.

Do I need to give mice a chase?

Do I need to keep moths out of my crawlspace?
Do I need another animal’s butt in my face?
No, I’m good.  I have a cat.

I have a creature in my life

Whose nails can scratch like a knife

But that’s really no additional strife

They definitely must live the highlife

Because I’m good, I have a cat.

I don’t need that extra money

To spend on some fly by night honey

I have to buy kibble, litter and a toy bunny

Because I’ve got a cat.

I’m good because I have adoration

I have someone willing to sit on the PlayStation

And sure, I have occasional frustration

But I’m good, I have a cat.

I have stinky breath and purrs

And I can’t begin to tell you about the fur

But there’s not a lot I prefer

To sitting with her and her and her

So I’m good, I have a cat.

Kittingly yours,

Behka
