				 Dog Haiku I love my master;
 Thus I perfume myself with
 This long-rotten squirrel.
 
 I lie belly-up
 In the sunshine, happier than
 You ever wil be
 
 Today I sniffed
 Many dog butts - I celebrate
 By kissing your face.
 
 I sound the alarm!
 Mailman Fiend - come to kill us all -
 Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
 
 I lift my leg and
 Wiz on each bush. Hello, Spot -
 Sniff this and weep
 
 I sound the alarm!
 Meter reader - come to kill us all -
 Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
 
 How do I love thee?
 The ways are numberless as
 My hairs on the rug
 
 I sound the alarm!
 Garbage man - come to kill us all -
 Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
 
 My human is home!
 I am so ecstatic I have
 Made a puddle
 
 I sound the alarm!
 Neighbor's cat - come to kill us all -
 Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
 
 I hate my choke chain -
 Look, world, they strangle me! Ack
 Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!
 
 Sleeping here, my chin
 On your foot - no greater bliss, well,
 Maybe catching cats
 
 Look in my eyes and
 Deny it. No human could
 Love you as much I do
 
 The cat is not all
 Bad - she fills the litter box
 With Tootsie Rolls
 
 Dig under fence - why?
 Because it's there. Because it's
 There. Because it's there.
 
 I am your best friend,
 Now, always, and especially
 When you are eating
 
 You may call them fleas,
 But they are far more - I call
 Them a vocation
 
 My owners' mood is
 Romantic - I lie near their
 Feet. I fart a big one.
 
 
 P.S. Yes, I'm aware many are not true Haiku. But still thought they were funny.

				 Cat Haikus Here by popular demand:  Cat Haikus.
 
 You never feed me.
 Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
 That will show you.
 
 You must scratch me there!
 Yes, above my tail! Behold,
 elevator butt.
 
 I need a new toy.
 Tail of black dog keeps good time.
 Pounce! good dog! good dog!
 
 The rule for today.
 Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
 New rule tomorrow.
 
 In deep sleep hear sound
 Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
 Will find in morning.
 
 Grace personified
 I leap into the window
 I meant to do that
 
 Blur of motion, then-
 Silence, me, a paper bag
 What is so funny?
 
 The mighty hunter
 Returns with gifts of plump birds
 Your foot just squashed one.
 
 You're always typing
 Well, let's see you ignore my
 Sitting on your hands.
 
 My small cardboard box
 You cannot see me if I
 Can just hide my head.
 
 Terrible battle
 I fought for hours. Come and see!
 What's a "term paper"?
 
 Kitty likes plastic
 Confuses for litter box
 Don't leave tarp around
 
 Small brave carnivores
 Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
 Fear vacuum cleaner
 
 Want to trim my claws
 Don't even think about it!
 My yelps will wake the dead
 
 I want to be close
 To you. Can I fit my head
 inside your armpit?
 
 Wanna go outside.
 Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
 Let me back inside!
 
 Oh no! Big One
 has been trapped by newspaper.
 Cat to the rescue!
 
 Humans are so strange.
 Mine lies still in the bed, then screams!
 My claws aren't that sharp....
 
 Cats meow out of angst
 "Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
 We could break so much"
 
 Litter box not there
 You must have moved it again
 I'll crap in the sink
 
 The Big Ones snore now
 Every room is dark and cold
 time for "Cup Hockey"
 
 We're almost equals
 I purr to show I love you
 Want to smell my butt.

			 Thank you so much for those Kati. I'm actually a cat person myself but found the dog Haiku on another board and thought I'd share. Many laughs from the cat Haiku. Fav is:
 
 The rule for today.
 Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
 New rule tomorrow.

 Dean: Friday it is not. It was some Monday morning funnies. (Yes, I know it was Tuesday. I work at a CU and had Monday off.

 | Yes, my husband and I quote the "New rule tomorrow" part semi-frequently.
