Today is National Poets Day, and because I’m a huge ailurophile, I’m going to celebrate in the best way I know … with cats. I’m not much of a poet, so I’m borrowing from others; still, I’ll share a few haikus. Enjoy!

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.

An oldie I like:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I’m a schizophrenic
And so am I.

But, according to the song, Mama don’t ‘low no schizophrenia ’round here.
“Mama don’t ‘low no schizophrenia ’round here,
Mama don’t ‘low no schizophrenia ’round here.
I don’t care what Mama don’t ‘low
‘Cause this ain’t the real world anyhow.
Mama don’t ‘low no schizophrenia ’round here.”

They are! Charlie got me out of bed this morning by jumping onto the windowsill behind me and getting stuck. It was hilarious! 🤣

My cats would meow at me repeatedly until I woke up instead of walking around on top of me. Many years ago, there was a tomcat living with me who always insisted on going out at four a.m. no matter whether it was summer, winter, autumn, or spring.
