The bachelors are back

and they’re not buttoned up, They

then comes the hard part

of applying it to all

Since I don’t know what

which is today.

me write a purr-fect poem, but

I politely asked

those two cats to go away

and leave the writing to me.

take things in stride when

your gait is off. They

rolled their eyes and replied, “but

Gaba, you’re just as punny.”

at the door, outraged that his

morning meal had been delayed.

When I told the kids

a deranged meniscus,

they said she was right

about the derangement,

but got the location wrong.
