Cat Haiku

A few years ago a friend sent a collection of "cat haiku" to Morgan. We lost the original list, but it turns out to be readily available on the internet. According to at least one site, the poems in the original list first appeared in Microsoft's internal employee forums.

Okay, it's my turn to toss out a few of my own creations:

I bring you a mouse
From outside. Yes, it's alive—
Don't you want to play?
Please don't be dropping
Anything heavy on the
Lump in the bedspread.
Some fool put a plant
Blocking the window that gives
The warmest sunlight.
Get the flashy thing!
My peep has gone under the
Refrigerator!
But I've always run
Through here! You're not permitted
To move the sofa.
