THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes: 

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

I ASK MY CAT

She cares not for politics nor Presidents

She demands affection and a full food bowl

She leaves when full-to a wilder world outside

Returns when her whim brings her in from the winds

Cats do not need words!They scratch and miaow,hiss and snarl

as primal as any creature ever was-in fur,they are Queens,

wanting their own spot-to be adored.Lots are feral,

and need fixing-or we will have a world of cats,too lazy for mousing.

Much that is new does not appear so to our  indoor/outdoor cat

and THAT(as far as she is concerned)is THAT!
