Welcome, Miss Vee,
nth kitty in my cat parade
beginning with early
Names-I-Forgot including
One-Green-One-Blue-Eye
not noticed sleeping
behind a rear tire
when Mom backed down
the driveway, also
that Careful-She-Bites
cat & dog Blackie
dispatched at the vet
though Mom claimed
they ran away, proceeding
to Siamese-purebreds
Nefertiti & Tutankhamun,
to Jacob born on a boat,
to Münkin son of Titi
whose only ever squirrel
misstepped a gutter
& fell on his head,
to long-haired Jason
bearing the Golden Fleece
who survived a tar bath
by plucking out his coat,
to Ooblek who disappeared,
to cooktop-parked Bartholomew,
to muscle-packing Mumbles
also called Stripley on Steroids
after a passing car
pitched him on his noggin,
to seven-toed Lobster Boy
Only Six Inches Long
but Plays the Zither
also called Fred,
to soprano-toned Baba,
to feral-born Akalina
featured on our coffee label.
Welcome, Miss Vee,
what will your story be?
