Just Hangin' Around

Here I hang permanently latched to this coat peg while fumbling though my mind what I did wrong. Oh please release me I constantly meow and beg but to no avail no one heeds my lonely cat song, so I may be hanging freely my lifelong. As I now recall, I went on a mouse strike I refused to eat the gray furry critter. Packed my vittles and headed off on my bike until I was retrieved by my little sitter, so now I hang here like a piece of litter. For punishment she dressed me in overhauls and shirt and hung me on this hook for my timeout. I loathe being clothed, I am glad it is not a skirt it would be quite airy no doubt, so I will hang here and quietly pout. Copyright © 2011 By Caryl S.
