If I look all cute and coy
Will you get me a new toy?
I'm a bit fed up with the ones I've got
As they are kicked around a lot.
They've lost all "oomph" and have no nip
I might as well go on a trip.
You do not care about my play,
And all you do is waste the day.
You clickity clack on that keyboard
Sometimes I think you are a fraud.
You write pretending to be me,
But we all know the truth, you see.
Cats can't type - this is a shock!
But in order to beat writer's block
You look to me for inspiration,
And I end up giving you dictation.
I don't want to waste all my time,
Making words go into rhyme.
All I want is my nip nanner
Then I'll cease all the clamour!
The time has come for cats to show
That we should not go with the flow.
We'll gather as one to tell the human,
That we are starting a CAT'S UNION!
We'll call it the N.U.C.A.T.
And all can join voluntarily.
All for one and one for all,
Let's fight the fight and stand up tall.
When we have won and proved our case,
We'll show munificence and grace,
Allowing the peeps to have the last word,
But not before they've fixed DaBird!
=^oo^=
N.U.C.A.T - National Union of Cats and Affiliate Typists
=^oo^=
How does a kitty join this union? Sparkle did not tell me about it!

ReplyDeleteSometimes I think you are a fraud.

Can we join? Please! Mom needs to write us a new poem for our sidebar or get Mau to write another one. Your poem is inspired. Will there be membership cards like at Cat Scouts? Austin, you are looking particularly adorable in your photo. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteAustin! Unfortunately my Mommy readed this post! She wants to knows where she can sign up for NUCAT!

I wouldn’t let the Typlists join. Cats only, I say. Can you believe when I first started on Social Media, all cats were sweet and nice? Gasp! Great poem.
ReplyDeleteTypists that should read. I wouldn’t pay two cents for TW’s alleged “skills."
DeleteSign us up!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in - as long as all it involves is playing with toys and being munificent. There's aren't many blogs where you're going to see that word used!
ReplyDeleteLOL every cat wants to join. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Count me in!
ReplyDeleteYou are very talented composing your poems. I don't know how your typist would ever manage without you. Oh, and about the toys. Get your typist to marinate them in a box with nip for a week and rotate them with your favourites. My mum uses a half pound clotted cream carton.
Me join you !
ReplyDeleteWhat's a great idea to Gang Up !

I think Athena wants sign up too!

ReplyDeleteAustin my man - COUNT ME IN! NUCAT members arise and shine for it's a NU day!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
ME TOO, Brother!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be really out of left field, but, as a person who grew up around some Yiddish (a/k/a "Yinglish)," I am here to tell you that the acronym NUcat is perfect. The definition of "nu" -- accompanied by heavy-irony body language such as rolled eyes and a heavy sigh -- is "So? You were expecting chopped liver???" A secondary definition is "I have been waiting for you to get to the point for a biblical era. Is THAT your point? You made me wait a biblical era for -- THAT?" Both of which usages are obviously highly important in the cat lexicon. Bugs and Barney are charter members of that union. So, everybody else, NU already? You are waiting for -- what?
ReplyDeleteWe definitely want to join the union!!! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Lola and Lexy
We're in too (something Pierrot & I agree on!)! Love this poem, clever Austin. Plus, our toys could use some oomph too!

ReplyDelete"That we should not go with the flow" ?!! Seriouslies Austin! You know we cats NEVER go with the flow!! We'll be part of your union if it gets you the nanner but we will have to be certain the typist gets our demands in order and straight and that she is not only munificent but unstinting as well! :p
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
Hey... I can type! In fact, I write all my own stuff. What I CAN'T do is write with a pen. No opposable thumbs, you see.
