True Story: The Cat Threw Up on My Head

by Rebecca Valentino

While I was sleeping soundly in bed
The cat threw up on my head.

I was having such a nice dream
About dogs eating ice cream
When, without warning,
at four in the morning
The cat threw up on my head!

She made not a sound
She did not move around
I had not a clue
What she was about to do
She simply threw up on my head!

Why didn’t she move away?
Why did she choose to sit and stay?
When she could see, clear as day,
That I was in the way?
Who knows, she threw up on my head.

I think she needs her own bed.
