of mischievous thoughts

15 Theresa 05.29.09 at 11:35 am

Spitting and snarling,
Hissing at the sweet bebe,
Ignorance is bliss.

16 cheesybird 05.29.09 at 11:37 am

You just get comfy.
Soon you will pay the piper
for killing Santa.

17 Eastie 05.29.09 at 11:37 am

What am I to do?
This kitten is not welcome.
He should scare easy.

18 edward 05.29.09 at 11:39 am

I shall bat at you.
I shall bat at you bravely.
That is where I sleep.

19 Theresa 05.29.09 at 11:40 am

20 Nekussa 05.29.09 at 11:41 am

The room just got cold.

I’m afraid to look!

21 Theresa 05.29.09 at 11:42 am

You can just hiss off

32 marmar 05.29.09 at 11:54 am

I just sit chillin
Dark grey cloud harshes my buzz
Fun stops for Marmie

33 chanpon 05.29.09 at 12:00 pm

My offerings:

Satan kitty’s hiss,
Smug, little marmalade cat,
Which one is evil?

Angry gray furry,
Evil hissing from behind
“Uncomfortable!”

First come so first served
says the unmoving marmie,
somewhat nervously.

Your face is scary.
And you wonder why they like
me better than you?

34 Von Zeppelin 05.29.09 at 12:03 pm

Angry gray cat snarls
YOU can’t has cheezburger

Death in your stocking

40 Katrina 05.29.09 at 12:27 pm

Some serious talent on here. :)

50 Von Zeppelin 05.29.09 at 12:58 pm

Don’t get reference
Who the hell is Don Piano?
Wish I knew, that’s all

(note: To meet Basho’s requirement for 17 syllables, you have to pronounce the last word in my second line as “PYAH-no,” not “Pee-AH-no.” My apologies to musicians and Italian speakers in the audience)

51 Pheas 05.29.09 at 12:59 pm

So you killed Santa
You still are not a match for
Quasi-Basement Cat

52 Pheas 05.29.09 at 1:01 pm

It’s your spot, you say.
Didn’t see your name on it.
Bugger off, old man.

53 patris 05.29.09 at 1:02 pm

First, snooze in striped sheets
Now, cuddle Santa’s jacket
You suck, C.O. whore.

54 gizmo 05.29.09 at 1:02 pm

Queen cat for today,
You lay upon royal robes,
Tomorrow you pay

55 Pheas 05.29.09 at 1:02 pm

Von:

56 Von Zeppelin 05.29.09 at 1:07 pm

Pheas:

So THAT’S Don Piano
Sounds to me like, “Oy, oy, oy”
Grumpy Jewish cat?

57 thepetmuseum 05.29.09 at 1:10 pm

(Luvs the don piano reference)

My marmaladeness:
The better to look teh smug.
Cuz you’re in grayscale.

58 claudia 05.29.09 at 1:13 pm

Dude, you’re harshing my mellow.
YOU’RE NO SON OF MINE!

59 Kristabelle 05.29.09 at 1:14 pm

There are some seriously talented peeps on CO!

60 skippymom 05.29.09 at 1:19 pm

Why I eyes ya, cat?
Is because I hate your guts.
Soon you will be dead.

61 sas 05.29.09 at 1:19 pm

Black cat ate Santa
Marmalade cat sits smugly
But he will be next

63 pyrit 05.29.09 at 1:24 pm

Do you really want
To hurt me? Do you really
Want to make me cry?

66 skippymom 05.29.09 at 1:27 pm

You think you’re so cute
With your stupid Santa suit
Cute won’t help you now.

67 Paunchie 05.29.09 at 1:34 pm

LOL people!!

68 Theresa 05.29.09 at 1:36 pm

Don Piano FTW!!!

69 Theresa 05.29.09 at 1:38 pm

Gray cat becomes death!

Gray cat snarls, mocking
“You wanna piece a me, marm?”
Looks tough, Italian

Hears screams, if there is no blood,
She won’t intervene.

Leave this house or die

86 Dr. Emile Schufhausen 05.29.09 at 2:06 pm

Russian Blue protests,
Full of hiss and vinegar,
While smug Marmie smirks.

87 derz 05.29.09 at 2:15 pm

89 barbed 05.29.09 at 2:23 pm

The evil kitty-fairy visits the fair marmie kitten princess and shrieks, “I curse you to have a puppy brother, and your parents will love it more!”

90 Argyle Donkeypants 05.29.09 at 2:28 pm

@Kristabelle: Really? Where?! I wanna meet ‘em.

With grace, speed and snark.

99 Cerise 05.29.09 at 3:04 pm

Self-satisfied ASS

Much cuter than you

You guys are beyond brilliant. This has been my favorite comments section ever. In your honor:

Cultured cute-lovers
Sharing ‘wit beyond measure’
Not a nuff for miles…

100 pyrit 05.29.09 at 3:06 pm

Meditation chant
“Nothing’s gonna change my world”

105 Dr. Emile Schufhausen 05.29.09 at 3:38 pm

Frak that! Move out of my place
Move or ye shall die!

Oh give it a rest,
Kitty Panties-in-a-bunch,
It could be a dog.

109 Melissa H. 05.29.09 at 4:22 pm

I’m not weeding through all those comments, so I hope nobody’s done this one yet.

Hey you! Stupid cat!
Get the f*ck out of my spot
Or I’ll kick your ass!!

110 Melissa H. 05.29.09 at 4:27 pm

And another:

Oh, new Christmas cat!
You don’t know what you’re in for.
Gray cat hates your guts.

126 Von Zeppelin 05.29.09 at 6:47 pm

Japanese poem?
Dactylic hexameter
Is more challenging

(This is a suggestion that the proprietors of CO, perhaps next Friday, ask the readers to compose a Latin epic of, oh, say, 72,000 lines, based on a cute picture.)

127 Von Zeppelin 05.29.09 at 6:49 pm

@Theo–They’re playing East Germany? That doesn’t sound like much fun. What do you do, pretend to stand in breadlines and then tunnel under a wall?

[No no silly. They're juggling a bunch of my obsolete sticks of Double Data Rate RAM, while singing "We Represent The Lollipop Guild." Just your average Friday night around here. - Ed.]

128 mamarosa 05.29.09 at 6:50 pm

My NOT Haiku submission.
Sorry it’s been percolating in my head ever since I saw the pic yesterday.

T’was The Night Before Christmas
And in the North Pole
The sleigh was all packed up
and ready to go.

The elves did wonder
and worry.
Where was Santa?
Tis time for him to scurry!

Mrs. Claus spied Happy Cat
strolling by
A few whispered words
and off he did fly.

The Head Elf, quite stunned
by this turn of events
questioned if her mind
was perhaps a bit bent.

A smile on her lips,
she did nod,
“To send a cat for Santa
might seem odd.

But he’ll find him and
his suit of red hon.
You see it’s brand new
and never been shed on.”

Happy Cat, through the
workshop he rove
to find Santa snoozing
in front of the stove.

His Happy Cat smile soon
turned into a sneer
upon spying the reason
Santa was still here.

Nestled and snuggled
and shedding as well,
was Happy Cat’s own
little vision of Hell.

A hiss and a snarl was
all he could say
in the hopes that threats
would send him on his way.

A knead of the paws in
that lap of red
soon gave Happy Cat
much to dread.

To the lap he did spring
with a fearsome cry
“Santa! You’re late!
You really must fly!”

To the marmalade interloper
he did hiss
“This really isn’t right
and I must insist,

LEAVE! Go away you!
Go on SCOOT!
Santa is late and must
deliver the loot!

And for you lap stealer
mayhaps I’ll sell you
to the nearest
pet dealer.

Even better, a box and a bow
wrapped up and
into the sleigh
off you go!

Won’t she be happy?
My friend Metz,
when for Christmas
a new kitten she gets!

And when Santa, job complete
did return home
Happy Cat happily
regained his throne.

Happy Cat was heard to say
as he purred into the night
“G’way! I’m sleeping!
And turn out the light!”

Haikus are easy,
But they don’t always make sense,

Sibling rivalry
Disturbs parents’ quiet time
Santa, help me please!

Have a strange feeling
Something lurking behind me
Too scared to look!

Grey kitty spits threat
Think himself kung fu master
But crafty, am I

Ha, I have a similar picture, but with me at the back and my brother at the front C=

161 Theresa 05.30.09 at 8:27 am

Metz, GENIUS!!!

I’m still wroking on the dactylic hexameter- EPIC (literally!) FAIL!!

162 Biscuit Tin 05.30.09 at 8:34 am

@ Dale – I bow to you, and I leave confident that I don’t even have to try, because I couldn’t do better. =)

163 Von Zeppelin 05.30.09 at 9:04 am

Theresa–You’re working on the dactylic hexameter? Don’t you need a cute picture for inspiration, or are you going with the usual myths of classical antiquity? I can’t wait to see it.

Nescio quid maius quam Iliade nascitur.

164 skippymom 05.30.09 at 9:04 am

Hey can we have some
Caturday action oh please?
Sick of haikuing.

165 Von Zeppelin 05.30.09 at 9:09 am

Oops. That would be “Nescio quid maius nascitur Iliade.” That’s what I get for quoting from memory. I can’t remember anything–I must be coming down with Whatshisname’s Disease.

167 Theresa 05.30.09 at 9:27 am

VonZep, thanks for the Classical compliment, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Cedite Romani scriptores, cedite Graii. Me, too. :mrgreen:

168 Tractatus Blorpico-Philosophicus 05.30.09 at 10:02 am

@VonZep, don’t forget the alexandrines!
Oops, I meant to say, “Von Zep / pe-lin, / don’t for / get the / a-lex / an-drines”!

169 Theresa 05.30.09 at 10:21 am

“A needless alexandrine ends the song
That like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.” :mrgreen:

170 Von Zeppelin 05.30.09 at 10:28 am

Tractatus–While taking a quick look at Wikipedia to refresh my memory about exactly what an alexandrine might be (I know, that’s cheating) so that I might make a witty reply, I came across the CO-worthy Alexandrine parakeet:

171 Tractatus Blorpico-Philosophicus 05.30.09 at 10:39 am

@VonZep, oh my eyes, my eyes! What about the children?
(I also had to look up to remember what a dac. hex. was… I was taught the mnemonic that a dactyl is like an index finger, but as a righty, I always look at my R index finger, which is actually makes an anapest.)

Smug orange kitten
Does not know that the shadow
Of Death approaches

173 Dana 05.30.09 at 11:20 am

Heh, thanks for the thumbs-up Carlene.

174 Noelegy 05.30.09 at 11:55 am

If I had some thumbs
You would so be dead right now
Orange cat says “Huh?”

I do not like it
Not one little tiny bit
Take it back to hell

This is what you call
Grace under extreme pressure
Gray cat? What gray cat?

175 Holly 05.30.09 at 12:39 pm

You think yourself smug,
cute orange kitty, alas!
I will rue the day.

176 Darin 05.30.09 at 12:49 pm

Post 112 by Dale.

“You are named for jam.”

Such a potent insult, and it fits so perfectly together. I wasn’t going to post anything, but once I read #112, I had to comment. :-)

Altogether the haikus are wonderful, and I am very impressed.

177 Katrina 05.30.09 at 2:00 pm

HI, katrina! How many of us are there on CO now?

178 Allie 05.30.09 at 2:09 pm

I knew I had to write it when the phrase “Scoot! Santa has to deliver the loot!” popped into my head.
