a quick little sketch with a little rhyme...

I did this quick sketch for the weekend drawing event. The host challenged us to add a poem to the mix. I don't know if I'd call this a poem, but I'll call it a little rhyme. It goes like this:

Birdy birdy in the sky
I'll be your friend if you stop on by.
I don't understand why you fly away from me.
I'm just a pussycat, not your enemy.


Maybe I was inspired by the predators in my midst. This cat looks perfectly innocent as do my own cats, but given the chance, they wouldn't hesitate to tear out a little birdy's throat. And we know this pussy cat is not being sincere. And my inspiration came from a Wild Kingdom type situation that occurred in front of my windows yesterday. Well, it wasn't quite Wild Kingdom as my cats were in captivity, but if they could have made their way to the other side of the window, the little ducklings that were waddling by, inches from the screen, would not have stood a chance and feathers (or more like down) would have flown.

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday evening (or late night, at this point). I keep thinking it's Friday. Why am I so confused? Nobody cares about a good Thursday evening, but Friday is another story...

Edited to add, apparently the wetcanvas website does not allow the word "pussycat." It wasn't letting me upload the image by the same name and then it posted my little poem as *****cat. Internet censorship is annoying and kind of funny at the same time. I had to change it to kitty cat, which doesn't work quite as well as you don't say when someone is a softy that they are a kitty cat, you say pussycat. Some of my fellow weekly drawing event people thought it was quite funny too.
