All I want is just
A glass of juice
To ease the pain
Of throat in raw

Who will run and get it?
My cat stares at me
From the end
Of the bed
A smirk on her
Face

‘I need juice’
I whine, without result
She licks a paw
Showing me that SHE
Doesn’t have a dry throat

‘go to the store’
I implore
Orange or Apple is fine
But she just stares back
At me
As I continue my whine

Who’s going to take care of me?
Who’ll soothe my fevered brow?
I’m sick and I need someone to care…

“Just take my ATM card
you can buy the juice
on credit!”

She turns her head
As if to say
“You look really bad
Aren’t you dead yet?”

“I need juice!” I shout
Please take my card
Go to the store!

I toss and turn
And watch as my cat
Curls into her slumber

She raises her head
Smiles and says
“I don’t know your pin number!”

...and you still have a sense of humor and can write an amusing poem such as this?!?

I'd say you're quite a trooper! And you'd best write your Pin # down for your itty bitty kitty! LOL

Sharon~
ROFL!  This is too cute and I can just picture the scene. LOL
I'm glad you're at least feeling a little better and I hope
you're back to 100% very soon.
Hugs,

You perfectly captured the relationship between person and cat. Cat wins
It was a fun read

(giggles in delight) That naughty cat, no catnip for him today, then we've got a compromise! LOL! This is cute, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

ROFL... I'm sorry you feel so bad... but you've so perfectly captured the entire scene... and I can identify so thoroughly the memories hurt. *S*

Being sick sucks... being sick and alone REALLY sucks! LOL
