Dexter Fool and Fluffles the Cat

Good ways to start a day:
1. sleeping until you wake up (even if that's 7:30...slight 'grr' on that one :)
2. baking banana-coconut muffins
3. eating said muffins, hot out o' the oven!
4. singing along to Buffy music with Christi
5. remembering that it's April Fool's day, and therefore able to approach everything with an attitude of distrust and skepticism. I WILL NOT BE FOOLED!!! MUHAHAHA! heehee, or something.

But i Will write foolish leetle poems...and draw un-catlike cats. because apparently i only ever drew dogs (not very well), and have NO IDEA how to draw the feline. ah, well. here is a story about a single man and his cat, Fluffles.

Dexter was despondant, and
A bit distressed, to boot.
He'd tried to pet his kitty, but
The look she gave said, "Scoot!"
"If Fluffles doesn't love me--
ME, who feeds and cares for her--
What chance have I of being loved
By any pretty girl??
Oh, I've been single--how long now?
I swear, I've lost the count!
What I CAN safely say is that
I don't look like a trout,
Or any other ugly thing--
I'm quite a handsome guy!
Just maybe...somewhat hesitant?
And maybe...somewhat shy?
Yet, when I talk to Fluffles,
I'm loquacious, funny, fun!
But now my cat has turned from me,
Though nothing have I done!
I face a life of solitude,
Of loneliness, of gloom--
And when I die, no friends will gather
'Round my unmarked tomb.
Oh, woe is me! Ah me! Alas!
What's this? I hear...a purr?!
Sweet Fluffles wants to cuddle now?!
I'm off to find a girl!"
