el story-o to begin the year right
me gato in Meh-he-co, what a delight!
wearing a necklace proudly, he is
doing his best to get me more biz!
alas…
no sombrero, no nada, has traveled me way
but Gaia, me gato, you’ve sure made me day!
i’m done with necklace number three
t’was balls of fun—let’s shout WHOOPEE!
what’s next?—i think i’ll take a break
but mostly it’s for Gaia’s sake
commission three of 3
commission work, ain’t an easy thing to do
especially when iterations make you blue
this here one, was not much fun
glad i was when it got done!
the tubes of hair—too large at first
wire too thick—it made me curse!
i calmed my mind, got back to work
with head at ease, i then rework
persistence finally got me through
i’m pleased—hopefully you are too!
commission two of 3
twinkle, twinkle, little star
how i wonder what you are
made of cat hair, just the best
taken from this kitty’s chest!
commission one of 3
three necklaces—a commission!
this could have been an imposition
for gaia as well as me
much HAIR is what was needed
for felting to be completed
but luckly i’d brushed and groomed
for months before so i’m not doomed!
mr gaia is my luscious muse
i create while he dost snooze
a new creation i shalt unveil
with pom-poms of a grander scale
this choker it is not old news
i know for me it does enthuse!
* * *
whorled steel and orbs of hair so fine
a statement piece—this new design
a little advertising won’t hurt
but will it dish out the pay dirt?
because, i’m one terrifying trend
that might portend or offend
and on cracked.com you’ll find the buzz
that cat hair stuff is anything but fuzz
yes, they can humor me all the same
but just you wait
cat hair jewelry will put them to shame!
cracked.com: HAIRBALLS—not just choking hazards for cats anymore!
days then months, they’ve gone by
no sales—me wonders why?
like the weather, it’s hard to measure
and so i languished in my displeasure
* * *
with patience, the storm turned round
a sale! it really does confound!
an earring went AWOL
in yonder urban sprawl
it was a cherished treasure
that gave the wearer pleasure
* * *
this bauble? no ordinary thing
t’was cat hair that made it zing!
so another set was made
to replaced the one that strayed
