Smoky the Kitten

Stacy Link

Smoky the kitten
He’s gray with blonde marbling
Thinks he owns the whole damn place
Literally springs on tiny paws from spot to spot
Demands a blood offering with razor-sharp claws
Play-sleep, play-sleep, play-sleep
Eat-poop
Purr-cuddle, purr-cuddle, purr-cuddle
Climbs up on you and
Puts his soft paws on your cheek
Not a claw in sight
Nestles down in your neck
Sleeps like an innocent
Wakes up like a roaring freight train.
