In honor of Halloween and my wonderful black cat Bandit, who passed away two years ago:
I am a black cat
and I know you fear me
I am a black cat
You think I’m bad luck
I am a black cat
Go ahead
blame your whole crappy life
on me.
♠
I prowl down moon-raped avenues
I prowl alongside broom-ridden witches
I prowl under ladders, over sidewalk cracks, on
Friday the thirteenths
And I piss
on four leaf clovers.
That’s what you think
isn’t it?
♠
You humans think I’m the devil
You humans think you know everything
You humans are black cat
black everything
racists.
You humans
can kiss my black cat ass.
♠
I am a black cat
Hear me meow
I am a black cat
Lock up your daughters
and chihuahuas
I am a black cat
I’m coming for you
I am a black cat
will you please adopt me?

I am a black cat
And I know this:
Love always brings
good luck.
Love this. Another one of my favorites-and that is saying something. What a beautiful tribute to Bandit!
Thank you, Diahann. :). Bandit was such an amazing friend to me. 🙂
RED SOX!
Lol 🙂
This is great Michael….Love it.
Can’t blame our lives on anyone else but ourselves.
Beautiful black cat!
Thank you so much Mary 🙂 And yes, Bandit was gorgeous.
wonderful )
Thank you Beth 🙂
All cats are beautiful and gorgeous, regardless of their colour. I love your poem! 🙂
Yes, definitely all cats are amazing. One thing I was trying to get at a little is that statistically black cats are harder to adopt out for some of the superstitious reasons I wrote about, which is just so stupid and tragic to me. Thanks so much for reading 🙂
I know, and agree. My mom has the most beautiful black cat who just appeared at her doorstep one day and has been living there ever since.
This reminds me of the type of poetry John Lennon wrote. Look up Nigel–about a dog. Yeah.
A definite compliment.
Compliment taken. 🙂 Thank you very much, Jacqui.
Lotta cattitude. 🙂
Yes, indeed. Thanks for reading, Michelle. 🙂
Hahaha. Now that’s an attitude that I can respect. 🙂
Thanks for reading, J.D. Love your writing 🙂
Anything with a black cat in it immediately gets likes from me. 😀
Right? That’s how I feel. Anything with a black cat. Thanks for reading, Tony. Loving your blog 🙂
