I Don’t Mind Muggins Man by Michael Lee Johnson

Hello Muggins,
my babe,
I don't mind you if--
crazy Persian cat,
copper eyes, emerging
from Britain, ancient Persia, & Turkey
you are a sabotaging, spoiled little brat.
sniffing, shanghai glue,
& that old Skoal snuff box
left wide open again.

Sneezing as if,
spirits your way,
red peppers, peppers
Carolina Reaper plants
scarlet insane chilies
stuffed in your
pink nostrils.

Your life is now set on fire
overboard abandon my computer
keyboard, you leap for safety,
scammer, slide those kitty feet.

Kitty's feet slide skimmer
across newly waxed
Brazilian Cherry
hardwood floor--
you pole vault, ground floor

pussy cat style leap
into my open left side
over-sized, bib overalls pocket.
