The boys were allergic But before Dad came along Mom had always been a cat whisperer I saw her do it at a party once Tongue rolling Fingers twitching From across the room The little panther was entranced Burn worthy witchcraft I knew she had a way with birds But this was something new Something foreign and beautiful Surprise surprise It was a black kitty cat Halloween Mom cut out ears to attach to my headband Then drew dark brown eyeliner whiskers With a triangle on the tip of my 6 year old nose All in black Part ninja Part cat We were off Brother and sister Pillowcases in hand Noticing my lack of tail Mom called me back She reached into the costume box and grabbed a long dark braid With one swift tuck into the back of my pants An instant flawless feline emerged ready to make her debut And boy did I play the part Prancing back from the hunt There she was silhouetted in the doorway Tongue rolling Fingers twitching ******* on sweet tarts I didn't stand a chance A family of actors "Mom, look what I found! Can we keep it?" They each took turns petting the newest addition And Dad let out a convincing sneeze A life I could get used to Tick Tock the cockatiel Had better watch her back E.Poe Oct 2012
