Every once in awhile someone sends me an email filled with cat haikus. In case you don't know a haiku (sometimes spelled hokku) is a 17 syllable poem usually (at least as far as I know) in three lines - 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables - something like this:
Look, the little mouse
sleeps and thinks I do not see.
I pounce, no more mouse!
The fun part is every time I see an email or a reference to cat haiku, I'm reminded of a poem that my sister sent me. I don't remember the title but it was probably something deep and meaningful, like "dog". Here's the poem.
You gonna eat that?
You gonna eat that?
You gonna eat that?
I'll eat that!
I liked the poem and thought it fit the personality of most dogs perfectly. However, being a person who understands cats infinitely better than I do dogs, I was immediately inspired with the cat version of this poem. It goes like this.
You gonna eat that?
GIMME that!
Anyone who knows cats will fully understand the implications.
