The End of Raven

By Edgar Allen Poe's Cat 

On a night quite unenchanting, when the rain was downward slanting,
I awakened to the ranting of the man I catch mice for.
Tipsy and a bit unshaven, in a tone I found quite craven,
Poe was talking to a Raven perched above the chamber door.
"Raven's very tasty," thought I, as I tiptoed o'er the floor,
"There is nothing I like more."
Soft upon the rug I treaded, calm and careful as I headed
Towards his roost atop that dreaded bust of Pallas I deplore.
While the bard and birdie chattered, I made sure that nothing clattered,
Creaked, or snapped, or fell, or shattered, as I crossed the corridor;
For his uttered, house is crammed with trinkets, curios and weird decor -
Bric-a-brac and junk galore.
Still the Raven never fluttered, standing stock-still as he
In a voice that shrieked and sputtered, his two cents worth -
"Nevermore."
While this dirge the birdbrain kept up, oh, so silently I crept up,
Then I crouched and quickly leapt up, pouncing on the feather bore.
Soon he was a heap of plumage, and a little blood and gore -
Only this and not much more.
Then my pickled poet cried out, "Pussycat, it's time I dried out!"
Never sat I in my hideout talking to a bird before;
How I've wallowed in self-pity, while my gallant, valiant kitty.
Put an end to that damned ditty - then I heard him start to snore.
Back atop the door I clambered, eyed that statue I abhor,
Jumped - and smashed it on the floor.

Oh, I am just SOOOO excited!!!

Last week was my Birthday (the 13th...of course!) and my brother came over today with a gift for me...a one of a kind Demonic Clown Baby Doll!!! He got it on e-bay, and the woman who created him ("Bubbles the Clown") told my brother  that after she had made him she had to put him upstairs, out of sight,  because he was creeping her out!  He's wearing this bright, lively satin suit, and a pointed hat with curly ribbons hanging from the tip. Very cute from the back view. Then you turn him around  and see his hideous little face!! Sharp, pointy little teeth, surounded by a big red painted  frown. Round red nose in the middle of mottled white and greyish skin, and nasty, clouded over eyes. But look closer...there are bloodshot yellow pupils in there! It is Awesome!!  I just LOVE it!

"Thanks, David!"
