Weather report, with apologies to Carl Sandburg

The fog comes
on lazy cat butt.

It sits flomping
over morning commuters
like it belongs there
and sits and purrs.

I hope this doesn't happen again tomorrow morning. I don't feel like having my flight to Chicago delayed by weather.

Thank you... this absolutely made my morning! The image is almost too vivid, but I think that's a good thing in this case. :-) And good luck with the flight!

I'm not sure whether to be flattered or offended. :P

I'm very selective about where I flomp my butt! I would never just flomp someone who didn't show prior interest! I am very much a safe, sane and consensual flomper!

Slander and libel! Yes, BOTH of them!

Um. This was a grey lazy cat butt. Your butt was, I'm sure, still in bed during my morning commute.

(Godsdamned literalist....:) )

My physical butt, perhaps... but who can say where my spiritual butt may wander during those periods when my body is still and my mind active?

Oo! Ooo! A metaphysical discussion!

Of course, that invites the question of how spiritual cat-butts interact with the world - off to seek some Cosmic Heating Vent, perhaps. Or Platonic Sunny Windowsill.

No apologies necessary, I had no idea my butt could be so inspiring! ;)

I personally believe spiritual cat-butts yearn for the One Perfect Lap, where they can be warm and cozy and petted for all eternity. And there would be tuna. Lots and lots of tuna. And catnip.

Safe travels, and enjoy the con! :)
