Word List - Living (??) Well

Sleeping Cats

Kitten mine looks half asleep

really he's sound asleep but 

He sleeps with one eye open 

Kat learned this from the feral 

and catches mice in his sleep 

Sort of like his master is 

With one eye open looking 

both looking for food or prey 

He's tough gypsie type alright 

But gentle as a kitten 

when I'm around always was 

We are one of a kind, us 

I kissed them both, feed them now 

Carousing and prowl all night 

After breakfast sleep all day 

Life in the fast lane is good

YouTube found here, lyrics too. 

At the end I found a collage of goodies on screen.

I chose "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice," her bio 

on video at 1hour 33 minutes, it was well worth it to me.

 - I'm linked with Shay for her word list, it's posted below from her Word Garden #9 below, at  http://fireblossom-wordgarden.blogspot.com/2022/01/word-garden-word-list-9-joan-colby.html?m=1 

 - Granddaughter KP's new cat does not like being left alone.  We think he might be missing his former owner.  Named Dutch, he is an adopted four-year-old male Russian Blue.   He was a one-owner never taken out in the rain; pretty boy belonging to a little old lady, an LOL. 

 - Shay introduced us to Joan Colby, and specifically from her collection Joyriding to Nightfall. Read about her writings at the link above.  Also, others have left a link there to their writings on this and the word list.  - "Colby writes about nature, animals, aging, and the angels and devils in everything around us. 

 - What Shay wants us to do here is simple: use at least 3 of the 20 words on the list in a poem of any length or style. Then link up and visit others. The prompt stays "live" through Friday."

 - And now her list of words!
