Thirsty Times

The seldom-awaited Cat Lick Homecoming
has arrived
because
it is time
to take another look at
Homophobes
Shrinking Globes
and
Pre-emptive Probes.
Can we forgive?
Can we be merciful?
Can the Cat Licks?
Will the Cat Licks?

We'd better warm up then.
Hey Lemur!
It's too cold
for that nonsense.

North of the border, up Canada waaay
That's where we'll fall in love, where skates above, come out to play
And now as we wonder, our thoughts ever straaay
North of the border, up Canada waaay...

Wonderfulness of a Tiger into a Cheetah

I pretend the game is not simply bull piss
I hide from myself that family is all
I want constant proof of my own wonderfulness
Oh! Did you hear that? I got a showbiz call!

This Time We'll Beat Those Pigs

If tarn = small mountain lake
and
if nation = united group speaking the same language
then
What in the tarnation should
we serve
after the relay
and
can we beat them this year?

Dr. BoBo and Assistant BeBe

Can we get some Nobel prizes for
two more quiet talkers?
They invented:
Beau Tacks for the honeymoon jokesters
and
Bow Techs for the fine dressers
and
Bough Ticks for the older taller trees
and
Botox Tucks Tax for the elective surgery buffs.
Don't they deserve some prizes?

Lighting the Way

When you have to wake up
and
cut across the Grimpen Mire,
a nightlight
can softly guide the way.

Be Your Own Nurse or Doctor, Take Your PICC




I asked the doctor to shoot me

he stared back as if I had asked

him to break his hypothetical

oath

for God's sake.

From Shakespeare's "The Tempest"

Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

To Pray, or Not to Pray:

That is not the question:
Whether 'tis kittenier of our kind to suffer
The blings & sorrows of out-of-cages fortune,
Or to shake tails against a sea of knees & double bubbles,
And by supposing, bend them.

On the Edge

One of you seems a little uptight, a bit stiff, like a
piece of cardboard.
Relax.
Try some music or
old radio from
a long long time ago:
You cats might dig it
live
on Saturdays 11am-5pm
Midwest N.A. time
or almost any other time
later
