meow!



a cat was missing
flyers were hanging everywhere around
the name of the cat was Jane
Jane will never be found again
Jane has gone forever

I met Jane on the street last night
Jane looked lonesome and abandoned
I asked Jane “would you like to come to my place?
may I invite you to dinner?”
Jane said “meow!”

five minutes later I opened the door to my flat
Jane said “meow!”
I showed Jane my kitchen
she said “meow!”
I showed her my meat-cleaver and my meat-saw
she said “meow!”
I showed her my cooking-stove and my frying-pan
she said “meow!”
I showed her my plate and my napkin
she said “meow!”
I showed her my fork and my knife
she said “meow!”
I asked her “are you hungry?”
she said “meow!”
I said “Jane, now let’s prepare the dinner”
she said “meow!”
delicious!

then I grabbed Jane in no time
I beheaded Jane a second later
I worked Jane a minute later
I fried Jane half an hour later
I ate Jane an hour later
I drank Jane’s blood like wine
I sucked Jane’s eyeballs like ice-cream
I love ice-cream as dessert
I used Jane’s claws as toothpicks

Jane’s tail is another trophy in my collection
I collect tails like people collect stamps
in the mean time I have over three-hundreds trophies
I admit, I’m a collector of tails
mouse tails
rat tails
cat tails
dog tails

some days later

a dog was missing
flyers were hanging everywhere around
the name of the dog was Tarzan
Tarzan will never be found again
Tarzan has gone forever
