warp mutter mother sticky wasting
ways slipped faces father mouth straw
3WW words:
unacceptable vain wakeful
Held onto a warped view of life
Muttering incessantly to himself
Expected to be mothered all the time
Rather sticky responding to orders
In his own wasting ways
he was vain in his attitude
A father figure mouthing
unpleasantries whenever
he felt like doing it
them to serve him well
When he slipped under the covers
to retire the night there were
happy faces from those around
He was beginning to be unacceptable
It was the last straw until they realized
it was all but some silly mistakes
He was a she after all!
and 'he' was pregnant!

Our first full moon in Hawaii, a mama cat gave birth in our bed between us in the wee hours!

ReplyDeleteThis is too cute. Called to mind when my sister had her second baby my very excited dad called to tell me it was a boy before calling back to tell me he was wrong. Mistook the umbilical cord for that boy-thing. Mistake!
ReplyDeleteall smiles...that's a cool poem!
ReplyDeleteAh, bless, a nice deliberate red herring there - deliberate from you and maybe not so deliberate from the cat. Very cute!
