The Poetess And The Pussy Poem by Shirley Harrison

A great Poet once told me

'those who have never experienced madness
at least once in their lives, have never lived'

so here goes,
one Sunday evening
whilst I was rummaging through a garbage bin down town
looking for a snack

I was tapped on the shoulder
by a cat

he said… 'eh up, save something for me'

I replied…
I hate my life; I want to die

to be honest, I can't believe I shared that with a cat

the cat, then replied…
well at least when your gone your gone
I've got eight more f…… lives to live.
