| Today I was practicing my voices (I use vent puppets in my magic). I was in one of those mischevious mood's. Over the past few months our phone has been spammed by call centres which are usually sited in india so you can't understand the caller because of the broad asian accent. Our entire household are sick of these sales call invasions ruining our evenings and weekends. My mood dictated my revenge when the phone rang today and I answered it with a chinese accent "Hello kung Ho chinese restaurant what you want?" The reply was in a broad genuine chinese accent asking for my wife, it turned out to be her doctor who is chinese. ooops.  Here is a little poem for your entertainment. WOWSER
Wowser is a cheeky cat
he really is no fool
he sits there making loud remarks
upon the garden wall.
He aims them at the passers by
who journey down his street.
They’ll never know who’s making them
as cats could never speak.
They may hear expletives or
a complement or two
but Wowser’s always honest,
the things he says are true.
Speaking is a talent that
only Wowser shares.
All you get from other cats is
high pitched mews and stares.
Wowser knows a lot of things
he is a wise old sage
He has views on life and fashion
that can only come with age.
If you venture down his street
do not wonder why
you hear a cheeky loud remark
as you're passing by.
You’ll look around you in surprise
and cry out “Who said that?”
but no one else is in the street
except a cute black cat.
Consider it a privilege
that Wowser gave his time,
a comment on the way you look
isn’t such a crime.
He’s the main attraction
of a visit to this street.
It’s now frequented by publishers of
fashions most elite.
The latest trend in fashion
has been influenced by that.
Who would suspect that those designs
came from a cute black cat. |

| Don't feel bad. You are not the only one that has done that a time or two. I have made remarks to people about a certain thing only to find out that the person I spoke to fits the bill perfectly. Like you, I just say, "Ooops!"
I like the poem. Cats are so neat!
God bless! |

| Thank you preacher, Now I know I'm not alone.  I'm quite certain that I am destined to do it again as I can't help myself.  Our whole family think the incident was funny. |

| At least you didn't put it in print. Even a cat hater like me enjoyed the poem. |

| The poem was great and I liked your phone call response. I have tried to think of ways to get someof the persistent charities to quit interupting my supper!! I got the telemarketers off my back with the 'do not call' registry, but now it is politicians and so-called charities that get my goat! |

| I got a dog, a cat and a rat. The dog is a pain that has more to do with my wife. The cat is independant but sleeps in my son's room and only ever cares to look my way when it wants food. The rat is the new member of the family and still not to sure about anyone of the family, yet I'm sure he isn't friends with the cat. |

| We have two black cats, although they're brothers they each show their different personalites. Mork behaves a bit like a dog when he see's you by rolling over on the ground so you can rub his belly. Oscar is more his own man keeping himself to himself in true cat fashion. Scratching on the bedroom door in the wee early hours for some attention. I have to say I love dogs and cats equally. I like all animals really.     :rendeer:   |

| Liked the poem; it reminds me of Eliot's cats.
