31. Darn Cats: A Letter of Complaint
(5/16/09)
To those accursed cats:
You cats! Why must you all run amuck all over my peaceful backyard and defecate upon my holy plants? I curse thee all to thy feline faces, you cursed, cursed creatures. Oh odious pests, I'm quite surprised you all didn't puke or cease away from the sacred house, when my dad shot one of your own. And more, you cats keep coming to the house of sublimity to do your ghastly business upon my sainted—though tainted!—bushes, even when I scattered mothballs all over them and the yard. Why, you cats! Why must you all roam about my yard and house? Art thou the legion of devils sent to wreak putrid pain near my place of refuge? We'll tell thine owners to quit such freakish folly, or lawsuits will be filed!
Yours truly,
The enemy of cats, (name censored).

A/N: Hahahahahha... I still get a kick out of reading this. I know this piece isn't a poem, but I just couldn't resist including it in here. When I recited this to the class, I pretty much killed everyone; they were laughing as if they were watching Chris Rock or something.
