T’was a time of half light, The grayness of twilight When I noticed the condition of the room, Coated with a slight dust With a hint of sweet musk, I then decided it needed a vacuum. The whining motor did blare I started at the base of the stair, The work taking my thoughts and attention, Although a regular need A mindless routine deed, But unknown to me had a strange attraction. In a gray and white blur Came the playful fur, Intent on his sneak attack on the sound I couldn’t have heard So I did not swerve Till after the attacker did bound. So quickly he did hop I just couldn’t stop And I heard his paining wail Quick was the attack, Slow did I react And I vacuumed up his tail. Slightly bloodied the tip So I went out on a trip, Taking the attacker to the vet, Although quite pained It was only a sprain, I was told I have a very strange pet. So after money was spent I have a cat tail that’s limp, On an animal with too much daring, So during the night I sat down to write a Tale for sharing. Gloom |

This is funny, yet sad - poor cat. I hope it doesn't attack the vacuum anymore. Your poem was a clever way to explain the vacuum incident. Thanks for sharing. Stacy Smith |

Gloom. You have never written a poem I enjoyed more than this one. A very painful, though wonderful lesson for kitty. Boo Hoo. Guess we all should know what we're doing when we attack something or someone.
