Thirstily Sober

 The Sunday Muse....gosh what a wonderful prompt! Love that kitty!  :D And god knows what I penned looking at the pic...Poor meow ...So lost!




Hic! Hic! Hic!

I just  want  a sip

Last night was very wild

My tummy is aching

Maybe the rat I ate

Still crawling!


Hic! Hic! Hic!

I miss my buddy

Who was wandering in the alley

He chased and chased and was chased

By a car on the other side of the street.

Can I have a sip

In his memory?


Hic! Hic! Hic!

She was unfaithful

And left me for a fool

He was too furry

Looks can be deceptive

I am heartbroken

Just a sip

To ease the pain!


Hic! Hic! Hic!

A heavy heart

And an aching tummy

Makes me very unsteady

Shouldn't I drown myself

In a glass of sherry?

  4. I've been tempted to drink away my sorrows a few times but I never did. That sounds good but I think in the end it is bad.
