Duty Comes First
A cat has sat on me...

Thought I’d get up and
be a productive busy bee.
Alas,
the cat is now
sitting on my knee.
The prison sentence is an hour,
maybe two or three.
Sure I’ll serve it
but,
I really have to pee.
There is not escape
from the Fluff’s
sitting spree;
I’ll just sit here and wait,
for my time to go free.
I can’t be too mad though,
It’s an honor, you see.
An obligation not taken lightly,
by a productive busy bee.

Charming! I’d Missed this one! 😊👍
This is fabulous, and so true!
Lol so true! 😁❤️
Lol, that's definitely an honour! Loved your poem!
Love this! All the cat lovers can relate, you never make them move if your lap has been chosen.
It rises to a whole different level with two 50lb. dogs. I really enjoy both your comics and your poetry.
We call it getting “cat locked” in my house haha. Very relatable!
Very entertaining and I know the feeling.
It's funny...because it's true. ;)
This is so wholesome and funny! Im so glad I subbed. This pairing of comic with poem is perfect and such a good time; I’m here for it. Thank you for making me giggle! I feel I’d react the same way if the cat had landed on my lap!
Nice piece 😉👌📝❤️❗
