Quaere

If Horse A will not move for any price or any rider, and Horse B is acting even flakier than usual, and Horse A is a young mare and Horse B is a young and incompletely gelded gelding, and the air is snapping dry so you know it's not the humidity...

What are the chances it's the heat?

This Is Just to Say
I have petted
the cat
that was in
the inbox

And which
you were probably
thinking
was a mouser

Forgive me
it was adorable
so sweet
and so furry

I hate the plums poem too. What a creep. "I stole your food, but I think I'm cute."

I had no idea there was so much WCM loathing out there. Kitty, people, focus on the kitty!
Okay, seriously, dear cafe music people: Johnny Cash did a cover of "Redemption Song"? Holy bizarre.

Flying Lily said...

"Oh pirates, yes, they rob I"; can we work this back into the kitty basket and the abhorred stolen plum confession?

You made me go out and find the Johnny Cash version of this uncoverable song and yes, indeed, that is one strange artistic experience.

Johnny Cash covered a lot of kitt- er, songs he had no business covering, and yet, it was ok, because that made it all the more Johnny Cash... or they kinda suck. Either way, he was not cute as a kitten, nor is WCW.

Well done Atomic Cate!
