The Tell Tale Kitty

Once upon a 3 am sleepy
To the litter box, he did creepy
Doing something that wasn’t pee pee
In the room next to my bedroom door

Not doing what cats can do
Uncovered, it was left to stew
And the stench it, grew and grew
Wafting toward my bedroom door

In my bed so deep in sleep
My 40 winks, I tried to keep
When wide open my eyes did leap
At the odor seeping past my bedroom door

Stink stink

At first I was quite perturbed
My sleep that kitty had disturbed
The sleep damage must be curbed
Caring for the stench beyond my bedroom door

Stink stink

Up I got and quickly ran
To the bathroom, switched on the fan
Back to bed with my woman
Believing it was done outside my bedroom door

Stink Stink

It would not dissipate
This odor kept me awake
Despite hiding behind my mate
The odor from past my bedroom door

Stink STINK

From my guilt I could not flee
Oh why does this have to be
Late at night, awaking me?
The kitty near my bedroom door

STINK STINK

I rolled to one side STINK STINK
I rolled again STINK STINK
Pulled up the covers STINK STINK STINK STINK STINK STINK

Overcome at last by the guilt
My resolve to sleep did finally wilt
I’ll take care of that odor I smelled
Stinking up my bedroom door

To the cat box I did go
To shovel something that wasn’t snow
Down the toilet it did go
As the kitty wandered past my bedroom door

In bed again but wide awake
Pleading with kitty, “For heavens sake
Cover up what you make
In the litter beyond my bedroom door”

Spoke the Kitty, “nevermore”
