My plan was
simple.
Every time one of my
cat poems
was accepted for publication,
I would open up
a new can of food -
and serve it to my cat,
as a small token of
thanks -
for the inspiration.
I ended up
saving
quite a bit of money
in the process.
It cost me
roughly five cents
for the plastic bag
I put her in -
just before sending that
lying bitch -
