My only company...felines.
Staring, stalking, inconsolable.
My only pastime...downloading songs.
Classics, nostalgic oldies like Motley Crue, GN'R and Ozzy.
I am alone.
Alone, but for the curt commands,
Orders from my superiors.
Mommy, I'm thirsty.
Mommy, I'm hungry.
Mommy, she hit me!
Mommy, I wanna go to Tamagotchi town.
Mommy, I think I'm gonna puke.
Five insatiable captains
Barking orders on mother's 32'nd birthday.
No party, unless one counts.
No DJ, unless you count Limewire.
No presents, unless you count cat turd.
And well-wishers...not counting.
Silent now, but for the boiling of Kraft Dinner,
And my kitties climbing the walls.
My only comfort...
A victory at King.Com.
