Them Smoking Kitties

June 2, 2025

By Rose Marie Rideout 

Somehow you knew it,

That you were doing wrong.

Hiding in the bathroom,

It's not where you belong.

Lighting up those cigaretts,

Puffing on them with your friend.

Being so sly & mischeivious,

How could you both pretend.

To be such precious kitties,

When I went away from home.

Trusting you both would behave,

When I left you all alone.

Now you're caught in action,

The smell of smoke is in the air.

You've made a mess to tend to,

Tell me little kitties, do you really care.

I don't know how to punish you,

How can I make you see.

That puffing on those cigarettes,

Will never be healthy.
