you're ameeewsing poem is purrrfectly feline

you have a cat; don't you doreen? i saw a white one in front of your house. what's its name?

yes... his name is mingus



he's a mass murderer

i used to have a cat named pandora

i named her that because of her box

they're killers, but they got style!

how I miss the little murderer
it didn't take Mingus a hot two weeks to clear out the stupid birds
after that he would strike the slower ones and other targets of opportunity

never showed one bit of remorse

I wonder what you're talking about. Bizarre statement. What stupid birds? What slower ones? Which two weeks? What targets of opportunity? Strange post. I don't get it. I'm sure he misses you, too, tho. At least you could pet him without sneezing, unlike me.

I don't know what's hard to understand about this, doreen
it's just an observation of natural behavior

maybe I shouldn't call certain birds stupid, that's cruel
perhaps they were just behind on the learning curve, survivally challenged
once the birds in the neighborhood learned that he was deadly
they were a little more careful about him
hell, they had the crow police working
to call out a warning when he came on the scene

Ahhh! The missing information! I see! The missing information is this........ "it didn't take but two weeks AFTER HE CAME TO LIVE AT THE HOUSE" .... the 2 weeks you refer to was the missing information.... other missing information was this

That's good writing. That tells people what you mean. Thanks!

let me say this to you doreen
I always appreciate constructive criticism
you have helped me in a good way over the years
to be more conscious about explaining things carefully

I need this influence because I tend to assume that the reader will bring something with him. In fact I demand that the reader bring something with him if he wants to take something home.

They taught us in journalism school that we should aim for an audience that had a seventh grade education. I keep having to remind myself of this fundamental even when I would prefer to ignore it.

oh ok
