Jai's Escapades

Jai the cat needed the car keys.Her group of friends she had to please.Away they went with her at the wheel.Decided on Red Lobster for their meal. Had a few cocktails, let’s say more than one.Now it was time for a little fun.So, they gave the dogs in the pickup next to them a run. But, before they were able to start the race.A gang of bikers with weapons began to give chase. What manner of aliens might this be?Said Jai, "they sure look like a gang of chipmunks to me!"They’re from another planet, I do so fear.These critters with their tattooed rear. Brandishing guns strapped to their belly.What is that they are shooting?Oh hell, it’s mint jelly! Zooming away in her little black ride."I owe them money," Jai grudgingly confide.For tasty treats from my owner I could not bribe. Digging and searching for something with which to pay.Jai came across a can of monkey soufflé.She flung it out the window, and she could hear them say.“It’s about time, sister!” as they went on their way.

Your mom referred me to this poem a while ago

and I'm glad I got around to reading it today. I can't help but think it would make a good underground cartoon - there's some wild imagery there!

lol!

This is what happens when you get into late night conversations on the instant message.... lol! I would prefer if my little 'un were better known for Jai-ja than this, though, as this one makes her out to be a rogue - and she's anything but! Thanks for the kind words - I think you'd enjoy the rest of the trilogy: Sugarbowl Ants and Double Trouble. ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Maybe in your vision, you've seen how omniscient is slightly less than divine.
