15 Pound Cat

  I asked this 15 lb cat if I could take his photo.
He stared at me,
his eyes he intentionally left blank.
Then he meowed in his biggest vibrato.
He came over, and seemed to say,
... ...
"Well, here.
What do you think?
I'll do even better.
I'll pose
against you,
your legs and your toes."

He knew what I really needed
was a hug --- and from him
a purr arose!
