Dust Bunny, Hop Hop – Poetry Prompt 14

Dirt will puff with the lightest of touch

Unless of course the scent comes out

So don’t complain when by she will slouch

There really is no need to shout.

 

Because she will rub up against you

Until you smell as dusty and she does.

Next her mother will come on around,

Necessary it will be, for she will tongue bath you.

Yes she will try to reach all around, but still you’ll smell dusty.

My cat’s name is Usako, which means baby bunny, as she had rather large ears as a kitten would spend most of her time jumping around. As an adult, she likes to roll around in the dry dirt out back and then come in. It’s not always easy to tell when she’s done this as she’s a grey and orange and white cat. (She’s mostly grey.) So, she’s my little ‘dust bunny.’
