Boot+Kitty=Poetry in motion

Kansas land sweeps clear
To the horizons I see
No kitties to kick!

Lots of wheat waving
Lots of harvesters afield
Where are the kitties?!

Toes of shoes tapping
Waiting for the can opener
To bring kitty here.

Kansas skies now filled
Kitties, like large butterflies
Flying everywhere.

Bonnie!  You have captured the spirit of those frisky felines so well!  When that can opener goes off, it doesn't matter what you do to discourage them, they are gonna wrap themselves around your ankles like a pair of new socks!  ha ha ha - it is so nice to have a kindred spirit in here.  How is Bo, BTW?

speaking of pandora's box,
my darling LongJohn AG,
you've opened it and here i am --
my tail's begun to wag... *g

you see, i cannot tolerate
your kitty kicking ways,
and as i visualize you there,
relaxing in your chaise...

while writing haiku lines about
some Kansas kitties flying...
and me, i'm sneaking up on you,
your longjohns might need drying!!  

without the litter in my box
which you've so sadly opened,
i guess i have nowhere to go,
now do i? and i'm hopin'...

to catch you writing lines of verse,
such minor little ditties
about how you would like to kick
or somehow hurt us kitties!!

you better watch your longjohns, hon,
like wheat they might be waving
in sun and wind to get them dry --
oh my! you're misbehaving!  

now must i copy these haikus
and paste them here to credit
your pen with nasty thoughts and such,
before you come and edit???  

i know your ways, ol' longjohn AG,
you'll come and change the meaning...
to make it sound like you love cats!!
you soon may need dry cleaning!

Pandora - Your tail's begun to wag??  *perk*  Now THAT I wanna see!  As for these poor kitties getting the boot, I wouldn't write of them if I thought you wouldn't come in here and defend them - now would I?  So, you see, you are responsible... I, after all, am just a scalawag; while you, on the other hand, are a temptress!

Sunshine - Bring on the cat!!!  lol

Rebel - shhh.. you'll let the cat outta the bag.  That's EXACTLY what's in the cat food.  A special ingredient to help kitties grow wings.  It was no trouble finding ingredients that would encourage the growth of wings.  But mixing in just the right amount to make the kitties think they could get outta trees using the wings - now THAT was tricky - lol.

kitties ... when abused
plan their sweet feline revenge
whiz in pirates shoes

****

kittens fly ... absurd
unless they eat the right thing
like a pirates bird

*****
A pirates first mate
Polly wants a cracker now
kittens came and ate


******

ok.......lunch break over...
back to work...(hehehe)

Kit - its a deal - no kicking you - I'll just let you sit on my lap as I stroke your silky coat and scratch you behind your ears while the tip of your tail flips in time to secret thoughts of pleasure.  How's that?

Janet Marie!!!  I want my bird back NOW!!!  lol - very creative, except for that "whiz" part - that was mean - just like Pandora!

Karilea!  Rip me apart?  Be still my trembling heart.  For, oh the visions that now appear, when you talk of having your way here.

LJA

kudos to the one
who can kick kitties freely
get away with it.

long john better look
behind his back so often
kicking kitties come

kitty litter sucks
unless it's made of long john
unique fragrance wafts

Kethry - I see there will be no mercy in here *tail tucked twixt my legs*.  I will retreat for now and lick myself...errr... lick my wounds.

I loved your haikus - I agree with Karilea - lol@wafting.  What a riot you are!

ur-in-8 kitty
upon pirates wooden leg
territory made

LJA sifted
clouded stench lifting in air
wet grains kiss his face

leg of wooden oak
rotted with the pirates stench
now a scratching post

Parrot on shoulder
bellowing in utter shame
cursing pirates name

No more kitties kicked
as LJA is now gone
rests in kitty poop

Loved the laughs, in the haikus as well as in the responses.
