Carmen Wants To Know. ….[3rd/Last Part Of Big Fat Cat Without A Hat Poem Series; Cats; Philandering; ‘marriage'/Relationship; Humour/Humor]

Rating: 5.0


I SENT SOME FRIENDS "Big Fat Cat Without A Hat ….Gets Hooked".
It's a sequel to "Big Fat Cat Without A Hat", in case you've not looked.
One dear and ‘old' friend, Carmen, replied: "What happened next? "
HERE is ‘what happened next'! I hope it does not make YOU vexed!

In "B-F-C-W-A-H" I introduced a big ‘tomcat' …..
; he wandered about ‘loving' feline pussies. Think of THAT!
And then one of "those" had kittens and came to collect ….
what she felt "he" owed her and the kittens. After all, he was "Dad"; correct?

She wormed her way into the ‘tom' ‘s life, unrecognized,
….not mentioning the kittens. [Boy, would HE be surprised! ]
He was taken in by her coquettish female trick,
and, before long, the B-F-C-W-A-H was feline-"love- sick".

THEN he learned of ‘his' kittens, AND "Mom" laid down the law.
No more "nice-nice" with HER …..unless some "Daddy" traits she saw.
SO ….the B-F-C-W-A-H played "Dad", and caught them mice.
But (eventually) he weekly-wooed other pussies, …..at least once or twice!

So, here's where I left off in the B-F-C-W-A-H tale.
"Tom" wandered-weekly (but as "Dad" he did not bail ….out) .
[He managed, at first, to "keep it under his hat", though he had none.
It just wasn't the nature of toms to settle just for ‘one'.]

BUT his secret would not remain a secret for too long.
Pussies talk to one another after all; they ALL thought it wrong!
[Or that's what they all SAID; I have my doubts, I do.
I'll bet some other pussies liked B-F-C-W-A-H's attentions. At least a few.]

Boy! Did HE get clobbered next time he came ‘home' with mice.
"So! You lying-two-faced cheater. With OTHERS you've BEEN nice-nice! ? "

Well, it wasn't the first verbal abuse ‘Tom' had gotten from a bitch.
[Oops, "bitch"*** is a female DOG; please pardon my (above) glitch.]
And it wouldn't be his last I'm sure. "Sorry, Dear."..
Tom said.
[But, If looks could kill, HER look at Tom …would have killed him DEAD! ]

No nice-nice Tom received that night ….or that week,
And the outlook for his ‘dating' future was looking VERY bleak.
He really liked being a dad; well, at least a bit,
and she'd NOW made him (almost) feel like shit.

He still made his semi-nightly rounds, and, yes he looked,
but he didn't TOUCH. He feared if he did, his "goose would be cooked."

But after a week of abstinence, both home AND away,
the mother of his (latest) offspring BEGGED for him to "play"…..(with HER) .
Yes, she found that, like most of her friends, she liked a little "love".
And soooo, Tom got, at home, some "nice-nice",
…….perhaps sent from "ABOVE"?

They worked out a deal; she KNEW a "tom" could not change ……..completely!
They would raise the "kits" together. And, bi-weekly**** Tom was free to range.
[Of course Tom "ranged" more often sometimes. After all, toms don't change ……
….COMPLETELY! !

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
***bitch: i looked it up in a dictionary and found (surprise!) that the female of a mammal species can be referred to as a 'bitch'. it is NOT limited to female dogs as i had been thinking. so i guess a female cat CAN be called a bitch just because of its gender.
BUT 'bitch' also has a very different (slang?) meaning which is a derogatory term. and the latter is REALLY what i had in mind. hee-hee. :)

****bi-weekly: i also looked up 'bi-weekly' and (surprise again! ! !) found that it could mean either 'twice a week' OR 'once every two weeks'! ! !

no wonder it is difficult to master a language, even one's 'own' language.

Very interesting poem! Toms would certainly be more happy with the rules of Jungle life. Trying to have both ways is what causes the problems! Thanks for sharing.
