    Cat Haiku

    Received this in an e mail...thought it was cute. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did

    To all you cat lovers...

    You never feed me.
    Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
    And that will show you.

    You must scratch me there!
    Yes, above my tail! Behold,
    Elevator butt.

    I need a new toy.
    Tail of a black dog keeps good time.
    Pounce! Good dog! Good dog!

    The rule for today.
    Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
    New rule tomorrow.

    In deep sleep hear sound
    Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
    Will find in morning.

    Grace personified
    I leap into the window
    I meant to do that.

    Blur of motion, then-
    Silence, me, a paper bag
    What is so funny?

    The mighty hunter
    Returns with gifts of plump birds
    Your foot just squashed one.

    You're always typing
    Well, let's see you ignore me
    Sitting on your hands.

    My small cardboard box
    You cannot see me if I
    Can just hide my head.

    Terrible battle
    I fought for hours. Come and see!
    What's a term paper?

    Kitty likes plastic
    Confuses for litter box
    Don't leave tarp around.

    Small brave carnivores
    Kill pine cones and mosquitos
    Fear vacuum cleaner

    Want to trim my claws?
    Don't even think about it!
    My yelps wake the dead.

    I want to be close
    to you. Can I fit my head
    inside your armpit?

    Wanna go outside.
    Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
    Let me back inside!

    Oh no! My Big One
    has been trapped by newspaper.
    Cat to the rescue.

    Humans are so strange.
    Mine lies still in bed, then screams!
    My claws aren't that sharp...

    Cats meow out of angst
    "Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
    We could break so much."

    Litter box not here
    You moved it on me again
    I'll crap in the sink

    The Big Ones snore now
    Every room is dark and cold
    Time for "Cup Hockey"

    We're almost equals
    I purr to show I love you
    Want to smell my butt?

    HiLARious!! I especially enjoyed the second haiku about the "elevator butt". It's amazing how expressive haikus can be, even though they have such a limiting form--these really conveyed the essence of "cat" perfectly.
    Thanks for posting those, HowieDawn.
