One Hairy Balinese Snuggler
Virginia Salter

I feel a prickly kind of pain
inside each of my thighs
I look down between my knees
and spy two wanton eyes

they lie each side a nose
above four whisker rows each
she’s begging with her toes
that I will pose a reach

to lift and let her cling
upon my shoulder sure
she is my ding-a-ling
a-lookin’ for a cure

sometimes she has a yen
to cuddle, snuggle well
but should I initiate
she’d likely meow, “...to h***!”

Ling-ling is her name
she’s quite unique you see
a character inane
who loves to torture me

she sits about so beautiful
posing like a Sphinx
causing me to wonder
what in the world she thinks

‘nd if I want to hold her
when she’s a mind like this
she greets each overture
with a loud and lusty hiss

but for now she wants my chest
and lap to satisfy
the longing in her heart
as I, to her whim comply

one of my cats is a Balinese...long-haired, long-bodied cat with brown seal point Siamese markings

What a spoiled little thing.....  I've got a tortoise-shell who is much more independent, but we love her just the same.... I liked the imagery in your poem.

This was written last summer, ...bob, this summer I've had to take her to the vet alot so there's only been a couple times lately that she's intiated wanting any company from ME that person, that human that subjected her to that carrier and PILLS AND LIQUID MEDICINE.  She's become quite independent this year and hides a great deal, too.

yep, walt, I agree, the use of me was to be a childish feel, which sometimes I think that's waht I be when it comes to cats, but I'm going to change it to be more grammatically correct, after all adults love cats, too , you betcha dey do, snookums!
