You may think I am inspired,
but I’m here to tell you that
it’s 4am and I’m real tired,
so this was written by a cat.
What the heck, they are nocturnal,
and I’m not…there’s clarity!
Goldie even writes my journal,
to save me for posterity.
I really should read what she’s written
about my days of love and thunder,
but curiosity ain’t bitten,
though at times I kinda wonder
if she got the details right
as she labours through the night.

I also have a cat who is surprisingly not nocturnal. But he has remained ignorant of emailing or any other laptop apps. He walks across my keyboard as I labor to produce something vital (or not), Then, with paws over the edge of the counter, he yawns and watches.
Iceland is beautiful!

Totally my cat! She’s going to get me fired. Every Friday, you guys have me busting out loud laughing. I don’t know how you find this stuff!

One of my colleagues has a cat that walks across his keyboard. Makes for some interesting comments!

I tried feeding this into Microsoft "Translate Selection," but even Icelandic doesn't help. Could the horses be using a different language?

YES!!!!!
This is the perfect way to convince my husband to get a horse! Now, if I can only find an exceeding large keyboard…
