The Blink of an Eye

"I can cry in the blink of an eye."...Matt the Cat

My sister said her cat
was looking at her
kind of strange;
I think, some kind of
subtle communication
signaling her that she was
talking way too long
on the phone (with me),
and not properly observing
that Matt, her cat
was a hungry cat
and was probably thinking that;
dear lady, that feeds me normally,
you're lucky I don't know how
to open that cat food myself
sitting over there on the shelf,
but no...., I can only
sit and stare and watch you closely
and hope you care (that I'm hungry),
so I'm sitting here starring you down,
will you kindly put that silly phone down
and get around to opening that delicious can
of cat food; please feed me, don't be
so mean, don't be so rude;
or else unless, you would prefer I
stop the starring and start
the meowing; believe me I'm not shy,
it only takes the blink of an eye.

Reminded me of a child when the mom is on the telephone too long or today at the computer and not giving the child enough attention.

thank you jwesley, jjote and latearrival for the nice responses; I think cats and other pets have lines of communication open with
there masters to get there way...james
