Poem – “ONLITTLE CAT FEET” (By Ray Gallucci)

  “ONLITTLE CAT FEET”*   Pussyfooting around the bush, Shoving not once beyond the push, Mincing words as semantic ploy’s Wanting hamburger, eating soy.   Rather than a direct approach, We have Casper who’s milking toast, So afraid to communicate What exactly we like or hate.   God forbid!  We might give offense! Tell the truth, with B.S. dispense! Step […]
