The cat just shrugs it off and trots away. I may make you feel it at the end of the day. Ignoring you for being gone so long. After all, leaving all day is just so wrong. Catch on yet? You will with this pet.
Out to work.
So not a perk.
With the 9-5,
You try and survive.
Slaving away.
Out all day.
Can't stay and play.
Need that pay.
Kids get less time.
That's just a crime.
Pets see you less.
House is a mess.
Spouse isn't around.
No one is found.
Tired at the end.
Guilt becomes a trend.
I'm not there.
Must think I don't care.
Those poor dears.
They must shed tears.
Therapy will come.
A need and then some.
From all my neglect.
Time I did deflect.
Gag me a bit.
Who needs that shit?
Stay whelmed each day.
Guilt won't stay.
Guilt you made.
Let it fade.
For it's easy to defeat,
Even if not sweet.
Guilt where there's none,
Now that sure isn't fun.
Poor poor you.
Weighs heavy, so true.
Err umm, not!
Add to the plot.
They aren't living on the street.
Hmm, maybe life is sweet.
Do you let stupid guilt come over you? Pffft to that says the cat at our zoo. Slaving away for pay may suck. But it beats living in the wilderness and bathing in a pond like a duck. So to such guilt you can say fluck and pass the buck. Although you should feel guilty in mass if you miss a post from my little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.

ReplyDeleteTaking long to load
DeleteSure can leave one in #2 mode
We have all we need and then some and without debt. No guilt, just feel blessed.
ReplyDeleteThe best way to be
DeleteShove the guilt in the sea
Yes, having to work all hours,
ReplyDeleteFamily and pets you don't see.
But think of years to come,
When you'll be ritired....just like me.
Yvonne.
Retired for me?
Deletehaha that probably won't ever come to be
NUMMMMMMMMMBER 5!
ReplyDeleteStill alive
Glad you're alive
DeleteBlue Grumpster survives!
Not a smudge on the road
DeleteLike a toad
Just a snore
DeleteLike a boar
On the floor
The floor
DeleteNot the door?
Those who are pulled
ReplyDeleteIn many directions
Might lose support of their family
And all its affections
That they may
DeleteAs they pay and pay
Nine to five sounds like a drag
ReplyDeleteI'd rather sit on a bag
Or a flag
But a job is still a job
Unless you're like the government and like to rob
You know what I mean at the kitty cat scene
Pets see you less
The house a mess
And, let me guess,
Less time to play chess
Not Russian roulete
Making you break out in a cold sweat
Or a dog on a log
Or a cat ob a bat
Or a chick on a brick
Not a stick
Or a toad on the road.
Anyway, it's Thursday....
Such a great day!
Blue
(Not Scooby Doo)
A big drag
DeleteLike the boobs of an old hag
Did I say that?
Whoops, shame on the cat
That it is
The job biz
Screw those bozos
Whack em with a hose
Such a great day
With a frog in the bay
A dog that won't play
A cat in the fray
A pig in a sty
Oh me, oh my
Well, look at you go
DeleteAt the Scooby Cat Show
Did I say that?
Shame on me and my blue suede hat
Oh the shame
DeleteNever so tame
Guilt is the bananas
ReplyDeleteCreeps up like telaphanas
Someone has to do the work
Maybe one per family perk
If a grand daddy did it long ago
No work and sing a mighty ho ho ho
Sing and take the dough
DeleteA fine show
Squirrel away it all
Never spend it on last call
Only guilty if we don't get out and live a little now and then.
ReplyDeleteThat we can be
DeleteAt our sea
We do like to guilt trip the peeps!
ReplyDeleteSo they feed
DeleteAnd scoop our deed
Yup that guilt trip is always there. Luckily, our Mom is home most to the time.
ReplyDeleteStays home and watches all
DeleteA fine way for cats at any hall
9-5? I wish, they don't pay me for lunch :(
ReplyDeleteGo 9-4
DeleteNo pay needed then at ones tour
No guilt here
ReplyDeleteJust keep working at my shore
Though at times
It is a bit of a bore.
betty
A bore it can be
DeleteMore fun taking a pee
ugh yeah - those days at work can be long - and then there's still a lot to do at home - need to work on my work/life balance - ha
ReplyDeletehaha think we all may need work there
DeleteAs we work away at many a lair
Every once in a while I feel guilty about something or another.
ReplyDeleteLikes to seep in
DeleteWhen a blue moon goes for a spin

ReplyDeleteGood you can confess
DeleteMore or less
Oh, c'mon, what does the cat do all day?/Sleep, yawn, meow and laze away! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Have to go too
DeleteNumber 1 and Number 2
It seems like I don't really do anything to feel guilty about nowadays. Maybe that's a sign of maturity, or maybe it just means I'm getting too old to keep up with my earlier tendency for causing trouble.
ReplyDeleteAlso no guilt for me
DeleteEither don't care or no trouble causing also are we
I used to feel bad for the cat, but then came to realize he was probably happy to have that time for napping in peace. He seems well adjusted and content...well except for the presence of the young and very active cat we are babysitting for my granddaughter while she is on vacation, hahahaha
ReplyDeletehaha sure can't nap in peace now
DeleteAs the active one runs around giving many a meow
My cats can tell when I'm going somewhere.
ReplyDeleteTiger curls up on the bed and gives me a stare.
Patches hides to show me she doesn't care.
Aren't cats sweet?
So sweet they are
DeleteWith a glare and a nudge to the car
When I worked at neighborhood store
ReplyDeleteI told boss that I wanted more
So from job as clerk
I received his perk
To beggar who worked the front door
Shake that can
DeleteMay find a fan
Guilt often comes my way
ReplyDeleteFor ignoring dust in the house so I can play
For letting weeds grow
So I can sew
For not reading email timely
Because there is too much to do and see
Bah, dust will come back
DeleteThe weeds shall too at your shack
Email is faster than mail
Even if returned at the pace of a snail
So go to it
Life is a hit
My kids love it when we aren't home, but my little pug will bark the entire time that I am gone. Just me. Even if other people are home, she'll still bark. Funny thing is, she hardly ever barks when I am home. Drives my family nuts.
ReplyDeletehaha she misses you
DeleteWill bark until you hear her call and come home to your zoo
Haha, Mr. Hatt! My husband is amazing in his ability to deflect guilt! Me less so. Your sentence "But it beats living in the wilderness and bathing in a pond like a duck" brought back unsettling memories of a fossil dig I was on in Wyoming years ago. We were about 40 miles from the nearest town, and I so wanted a bath. Baby Wipes only work so long. Two of us desperate stinkers braved washing in a stock pond with range cattle gathered all around. I was doing okay until I saw some kind of pink worm swimming in the water. I still freak out thinking of that! LOL A few days later we managed to get into Rock Springs and tried to check into a KOA Camp, just so we could get a shower. They took one look at we dirty, smelly paleontologists and refused us entry. We tried checking into several hotels ~ No go! Finally, we parked around the corner from another hotel and sent the tall blonde female in our group to rent a room. When she had the key, we all piled into the room. She claimed the shower first and used up all the hot water to shave her legs. The four other guys and I were ready to kill her over no hot water! Let me tell you, it's no fun showering and shaving your legs in cold water. Well, that's not a guy problem! The hotel room was so bad that when one of us opened up a drawer to check for a Gideon Bible, there was rotten food next to the Bible. All was forgiven though, when we got some hot food. That dig was one of the most difficult things I've ever been through. It went down in the annals of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as a disaster that was somehow survived. At another point, after we had been wiped out by a hail storm and flash floods I called my husband from Rock Springs in tears and seriously told him I would die on the dig. Poor T! OMG! But the next year I went right back again. And that year we were nearly destroyed by a camp fire that got out of control. The things you remind me of, my friend! have a good one!
ReplyDeleteWow! Sorry! I had no idea I had written such a big comment!
Deletelmao wow, you went through the ringer and then some
DeleteThe blonde sounds like not the best chum
Dirty and swimming with worms
Or cold water shower terms
Hmmm think I'd still take the cold
Wouldn't want warms inside you to take hold
Bad kind of pregnant there
haha yep, no worries about shaving leg hair
Just the armpit stuff
So Orlin doesn't get rough lol
A glutton for punishment you were indeed
Always going back to that feed
Just need a meteorite to hit now
Every other form of nature took a bow
Huge guilt I feel each morning I have to go to work! So I tell my kitties that I'll be back as soon as possible...and I do my best not to work overtime :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, try to get back when we can too
DeleteStupid 9-5 at many a zoo
