Kitty calls weakly
As the truck rumbles closer
Long John claps his hands

Kitty scampers clear
Wheels barely miss as they pass
Long John puts Kit back

Kitty sniffs sadly
Another car turns corner
Long John hides to watch

Kitty sees car come
Car tires screech and swerve away
Long John frowns sadly

Kitty runs to curb
A bus splashes a puddle
Long John doesn't duck!

Long John sees Kitty
Kitty sees Long John coming
Hides in gutter drain

Long John opens bag
Takes new Kitty to the street
Tells Kitty to stay

Woman saves Kitty
Glares and scares poor old Long John
She puts John in street

Long John cannot move
His Knees knocking as car comes
Hides in gutter drain

Long John wonders why
Forum women want his hide
Waits for the next car

Poor Long John Silver
Soon the cars will swerve for him
If he keeps writing.

ahhh, my lil Lorelei - thank you for being so helpful (I'll get you later tonight, my pretty).

Julie Ann - Its this way - If I don't kick a kitty around at least once a month in here, everybody begins to think I'm going soft.  Naturally, we can't have them thinking that.  Can we???  (Do you think I should submit this for the book?  *expectant eyes*)

Et tu, Sunny?  You would join forces with others in here to set me in the street?  *unbelieving expression of regret*  Thanks for reviewing this work, anyway.

heres a little ditty
bout a pirate and a kitty
the pirate was so cruel
he thinks kicking kitties is cool

guess he dont know cats have 9 lives
and kitties are loved by all us wives
but paybacks....they are hell
I gotta secret that I ll now tell

upon the cute little kitty
you should have took pity
it makes a pirate look like a louse
and it seems to have landed you in the dog house

kicking kitties may be your idea of fun...
but me thinks tonight you'll be getting NONE

here's a little revision of something i wrote to you, longjohn, the last time you threatened kitties..... I had to revise it a bit because  i originally posted it in Adult...

and some of my words
just couldn't be written
in Open Poetry
that, I am admittin'!!

ready????

here goes!................

*wink*

Pandora's prowling through the night
through streets and alleys, candlelight
and off to Passions with her voice
of poetry; that is her choice.

Offended kitties neck in neck
meowing, mewing, what the heck--
This kitty's calm despite the storm,
she slithers slowly past, with form.
This kitten's purring -- meowing time --
but then some lngjhn writes a rhyme
to threaten kittens like a fox--
but as he nears Pandora's Box,
she warns him that this kitten's bitter,
so step lightly 'round the litter.

Pandora says, LngJhn, be wise,
sidestep this cat, or be baptized!
Threats to cats are sure not fittin'--
Lord, help the man who hurts my kitten!

Long John-So this is how you get the women to come the "master" as you put it.  I think I am just going to sit on the sidewalk and watch.  Good read my friend.  It was sure not the way I thought it was going to end up when I started, but it brought with it a good laugh and I thank you for that.

JM - I'll have you understand
Lorelei loves this pirate man.
She's trained me to treat her kitty best,
Or I don't get her treasure chest.  

Maggie Blue - here's a haiku -
Rebuking is done,
Pandora scratches for fun,
Long John's on the run.

Kitty struts her stuff,
Cuz Long John was treated rough,
That Pandora's tough!

Denise - yanno, it feels good to loved despite being a kitty kicker *selfrighteous nods*

kat - psst, It really is all for fun - I have trouble even thinking about hurting kittens - but don't tell anybody about my weakness.  OK?  It will be our little secret

bad dog - Watch out for Pandora - she's got claws!!!!!  BTW - was it you who left that wet spot on the Forum rug???  *rolling up my newspaper*  

Pandora - just for you I composed a sweet little poem *ahem, clearing my throat*

Ol' Long John is in quite a mess,
Pandora may put him on her list.
Even though I'm a kitty kicker,
I kinda doubt I could lick her.

Cuz she's got long sharpened claws,
There are good reasons I should pause.
Kittens and streets, it appears,
Will make Pandora Box my ears.  

"Here, lil kitty," I call out sweet,
"Please don't play in the street.
"Pandora's watching everything I do,
She'll punish me if I don't save you."

When that little vamp is gone,
My kitty kicking will go on.
I'll just be sure she doesn't see
The kitties I leave in the street.
:

Mark - Thanks for your comments - yanno, writing poetry is supposed to be fun sometimes - that's why I cut myself loose at times.

longjohn, pandora's claws are ready
they will pull you past the jetty!!!!
you'll go out with waves of fury...
pandora's not in any hurry!

yes, you're right this kitty's tough...
you'll be screaming "That's ENOUGH!"
soon your meow scratches bottom,
(He won't know which wave has got him!)    

MESS with Pan and you've got trouble!
this sweet cat will get you double!
first, she'll mew you, then she'll scratch and
you will be the MOUSE she's catchin'!!!

*wink*

Pandora

Ohhh, Pandora, to die in your paws,
Makes me wish dearly for Santa Claus.
My life of glee would no longer lack,
If I could have his bottomless sack!

Of course I know you'd be right there,
Coughing and hacking your balls of hair,
While you scratched, hissed, and spit,
And pounced around in your kitty lit.

Then you'd realize after all this fuss,
That I'm really not an ornery cuss.
I just love the attention and catty looks,
That I can release from Pandora's box.

Have a great weekend everybody - thank you all for the terrific responses

Heather - now just remember - be sure the shotgun isn't loaded when I come around your neighborhood - lol

Ok, LJ, listen hard!
I think your hearing has been charred!
You can't get me in a bag!
Better wave your small white flag!
YES, i'll scratch and mew and hiss....
but, my friend, i'll tell you this....
this here kit's got A-D-D,
DON'T YOU TRY AND MESS WITH ME!

if you try to get me sacked,
you'll find out all things you've lacked....
common sense, for one thing, sir,
eyesight, too, it is a blur,
sensitivity and caring,
and the CLOTHES that you are wearing...

'cause, my friend, i'll scratch them off
if Pandora hears your scoff!

i don't BELIEVE in Santa Claus,
there is no bag to hold me, 'cause,
i'm a kitten, sweet and kind,
but be careful of your mind...
when you start to PLAY with me...
it just might be HISTORY.

i don't beg and i don't bite,
but i can put up a FIGHT...
try to bag me, i won't spit
balls of hair! NO! i'm a kit
who's a gentle sort of mew
'til my line gets crossed by YOU!

So, my sweet, please watch your feet,
i'll weave through them when we meet,
you could trip and you could fall...
Santa Claus?? HA! Not at all!

    

whoops! I had to come back and edit
in case you didn't get it...
just wanted to say
to you today,

hope you have a nice weekend, too!!... hehe.... *grin*

I'll give YOU a sequel,
you Balladeer, you!
This kitty is ANGRY
with what you construe!
LJ is in trouble!
He's way out of line!
And here you come ADDING
to this silly rhyme?!?!?!  

You think that it's funny
to alienate?
Just WAIT 'til this feline
sees the starting gate!
She'll pounce you and ravage
and claw you and prowl....
I think that it's time
that you threw in the towel!

You sailors are something!
You egg each one on....
we kitties don't like the way
you carry on....!

But be NICE to kitties
and they will not hiss....
no, cats can be loving...

pssst.... how 'bout a kiss? hehe

Pandora, you've got me all wrong!
I love my feline friends.
I'd never write a kitty ditty
That hurts or offends.

That longjohn is a mangy dog.
He's nothing but a cur.
I'll show you how nice I can be...
Come let me stroke your fur

Balladeer, please let meeeeoooowt....
please open up the door!
.... follow me until you see me
slither past once more....
Do you think that i believe
that you like pussycats?
i thought that you used them
when you wanted to catch rats!

Maybe you are telling me
the truth and maybe not!
i will keep my claws inside...
and give you one more shot...
But next time i hear you side
with longjohn's kitty litter,
i just might get hissy and
this kittycat get bitter..

For now, i guess, that i must give
the benefit of doubt
so, open up the door once more...
and please just let meeeeeeoooowt...
since you SAY that you like cats,
i guess that i won't hissssss....
so for now, just follow me
... how 'bout another kiss??     *grin*

(but if pandora ever finds you hanging with longjohn
using cats to catch your mice...
pandora's claws are on!!) *wink*
