A cat delivers a present to my front door. |
A tabby cat by the name of More, delivered a present to my front door. He left a book of wisdom there; ’twas gracious of this shorthair. The first bit of wisdom I read was, Don’t be angry, and then go to bed. That made sense; I agreed; blurted, ”Yup!” because you don’t know, for sure, if you’ll wake up. Then I read, Don’t lead with your chin. I think it means, since you don’t always know what state folks are in, then if you are overly nice, you may get reactions that are cold as ice. More wisdom: Don’t look back, something might be gaining on you! Of course, live for today, make this present time do! I look down at More, and he seems content; he doesn’t seem to worry where yesterday went. I like this one: Liars’ memories have to be good; that is straightforward enough and understood. The truth, you see, does not need to invent a story; only the cold, hard facts, which are enough for reality. Plus, It’s a long road that has no turning… what goes around, comes around; I’m learning! An open mind is a mind that’s yearning. More’s tail is straight up which means he’s happy; he does not read what I write, so I don’t know if he’d think it was sappy. Well, that’s the thing; I’ve given it thought— about what folks like or not. Personal tastes are what they are (I can wish upon a falling star.) Que será, será and all that stuff, guess I’ve said enough. More looks at me and purrs, “Meow.” I pet his head, then say, “And how!” 34 Lines Writer's Cramp 8-3-19 |
