Pepper

an ode to my cat

By Some GuyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Purr purr purr, all she wants is to be stroked

The world outside attacks me unprovoked

Boris made everything so expensive

His treatment of the queen's law offensive

The United Kingdom; the whole world joked

The pressure outside I feel my neck chocked

A freedom of choice becoming revoked

As life seems to become more intensive

Purr purr purr, all she wants is to be stroked

Nothing ever goes the way you had hoped

The rain falls leaving you completely soaked

But at home my spirits lift less pensive

As the one with no schedule never cloaked

Purr purr purr, all she wants is to be stroked

About the Creator

Some Guy

I kinda suck at writing but I enjoy it

Anyway, here's a dumb little haiku:

The gunslinger draws

His opponent does the same

oh dear, they both died
