SPACE INVADER!
He was a space invader
Who invaded Charleton town…
Wearing a silver canister,
To vacuum around.
–
She told him not to take any guff
From residents at that place…
Apartment dwellers rarely had
Shown him a single face!
–
Twas awfully dirty in the halls
Of buildings at that site…
They were not cleaned that often
Or perhaps not done right.
–
A younger man just passed by
With a newer model aboard…
A smaller cylinder of plastic,
That newer invaders afford!

NO PET PARENTING, ALAS!
November of last year
We lost our Tippie Cat dear…
Wanted to adopt
But have been stopped,
It’s gotten too expensive, we fear.
–
Our Apartment Complex’s new rules,
Have taken our ability to choose…
Requiring deposits
And carriers in closets,
Correct documentation, or tenancy lose!
–
It pains us to not have a cat,
No way we can afford all that….
One rules page to three
And financially,
We gotta stay where we are, and that’s that!
–Jonathan Caswell
POTENTIAL PUSSY (CAT):
We’re looking for our kitty cat,
Our old one’s dead and gone…
We’ve had three months to grieve and heal
And it’s time for moving on.
–
We identified a shelter
That may have whom we need…
A couple of cats sounded interesting,
But nothing’s yet guaranteed.
–
We don’t have our house anymore
But live in an apartment complex…
We’re only allowed one kitty cat,
In our home of either sex.
–
This cat must be spayed or neutered,
Something we’ve near always done…
Except for our “Jessie”
Who ran off before he became one.
–
We’ve agreed on a ginger tabby,
Or a black-and-white, we don’t care…
As long as they accept our loving
The Lord will lead us to who’s there.
–
If weather and finances jive
The wife and I…
Will visit the kitty cat shelter ourselves
And pick out our blessing undisguised!
–Jonathan Caswell
