a tribute to the great moon cat

November 7, 2006 | Filed Under Poetry 

hey there!
i am a cat,
and i am trapped
inside this plastic bag
its going to eat me
thankfully, it does not have any teeth

i have no idea how to get out of this
i know you will be finding this funny
or cute at the least
and feeling all amused about
my adventures with this plastic bag
but i don’t see why u are so amused
at a poor cat’s plight
particularly as u have the power
to remove me out of it

you humans they say -
are bestowed with the power of thinking
which is further evolved into logic
yet you sit there -
giggling like a dumb elephant

i am a Hindu
and in my next life – the tenth,
i will become a plastic bag
and eat you up
and all cats will stretch and enjoy the show
we won’t laugh or giggle or even smile
we are too royal for all that

sincerely,

moona

ps: we also prefer small letters
