Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 12, 2014

There’s no pleasing that darn cat who also needs to go to ACA (Alcoholic Cats Anonymous).

Could have been the three of four six-packs. (yikes)

Well it’s been ten years and a thousand tearsAnd look at the mess he’s inA splattered shirt and a splattered face,An empty bottle of ginWell he’ll stand, and he’ll wishStill holdin’ on to that dishWhile he’s singin’ to himself“I should have got myself a gold fish.”

Take away, take awayTake away this ball of furWell he’s had it and he’s dirtyAnd I can’t take more of herTake away, take awayNever again to returnTake away, take awayTake awayTake away this ball of fur

Who else sees an alien on Lio’s face?

Cybil!

Let’s see, Cybil got into the hard stuff and what, lost her/his appetite? Then apparently the cat takes it out on Lio. So what is this like a comment on anger management? Hey btw nice poem Simon_J, has a cool refrain.

Very, very bad cat. Even by cat standards, such as they are.

Lio, your cat needs help! Maybe Sybil needs medicinal catnip to beat this bad addiction of Gin.

Cybil would like gin in her food dish, and tonic water with lime in her water dish, please.

Is Cybill related to the cat (who may or may not be imaginary) in Beardo ?

Cybil quiere Taco Bell.

My, my. Cybil is a lush, addicted to gin! Lio, your cat (I use the term “your” loosely, as though Cybil belonged to anyone but herself) needs help!Who would dare to help Cybil?

The Cybil War was anything but.

Ewwww.
