roses are red

My Dearest Peepers...

Roses are red, violets are blue.  This catnip is glorious but sorry, there's none left for you.

Hmmm...

For a Valentine's Day poem, that has potential, for sure.

MOUSES!

My Dearest Peepers...

Roses are red, violets are blue.  I do love you, truly.  Some other kitty pooped in your shoe.

Hmmm...

I'm not sure about that one.  Kinda gives her a heads up 'bout what Saffy's givin' her.

Hee-hee...  In all seriousness, it wasn't actually poop.

MOUSES!

My Dearest Peepers...

Roses are red, violets are blue.  Next time you find yourself up a creek, I'll lend you my paddleless canoe.

Hmmm...

Nope, no sane kitty would trust the peep with their canoe.

Probably never get the thing back.

MOUSES!

My Dearest Peepers...

Roses are red, violets are blue.  I was gonna give you a bird but I let go of it and out the window he flew.

Nah, there's no need for Peepers to think I'm responsible for the mess that stupid ol' bird made.

MOUSES!

My Dearest Peepers...

Roses are red, violets are blue.  I made you this card, myself, so if you're at the dinin' room table, you might wanna mind the spilled glue.

Hmmm...

Now that one has potential, too.  Although it does require my actually makin' a card.  With paper.  And glue.  Nope, I don't need a sticky ol' card stuck on my gorgeous marmalade furs.

Again.

MOUSES!

Perhaps I should use the first poem, after all.  The one 'bout the catnip bein' glorious and whatnot.  It talks about catnip which everyone loves and things you love are appropriate for Valentine's Day.  AND it rhymes.  What could be better than that?

I know!

My Dearest Peepers...

Sorry 'bout not gettin' you any roses, ol' peep of mine.  I bought you some nip and cream, instead.  And whatever you do, don't put your foot in either one of your blue shoes.  HAPPY VALENTINE'S!

PURRS.

And...

'Cause we really mustn't forget.

MOUSES!
