Deadly Stones of the Giant Fairy Girls 2
***************************************
wow the day ends fast in September
in a blink the night creeps up on you
well before the night won over the day
Today my cousin dropped over to see me
but I wasn't there
when i hooked up with him later
he mentioned that at my place,
a little red cat walked up to him
and greeted him warmly
warmly boldly
then challenged him
to a swatting contest
Cuz' asked when did I declaw him?
- I didn't declaw him !
so it seems Jinky
can hold those deadly claws in
when he is a gaming mood
with strangers
we all know
he can shred
a piece of paper
into tiny ribbons
in mere seconds
=thats entertainment
= thats restraint
I took Jinky down to the beach after dinner
and let him run wild as wild can be
amongst the girls with cameras
dogs on strings
old people on folding lawn chairs
all watching the wonder of
the tangerine sunset
dipping into the mauve waters yonder
as Jinky chased bugs
two little girls discovered him
walking along the shore
and decided he was lost
and that they had found him
and he was now theirs
his prominant bell & collar
and the fact that I was
twenty feet away
calling him by name
was not a factor to them
I approached their grandparents
and mentioned that the red kitten
was with me
and that he was not lost
but actually on an
athletic training jaunt
and then produced the magic string
which spirited Jinky away
from the loving pats of the little girls
towards the dancing thread of action
the little girls were spellbound
at the dancing cat
who made _mighty leaps
and always caught his target
I gestured to the grandparents
to back me up here
and told the girls
in my most serious
metaphysical voice
that Jinky adores loud noises
and especially big stones
thrown in the water
They could do that alright!
and these two size extra small girls
began tossing stones into the water
and as planned,
Jinky was fascinated
with all this wonderful
waterside co motion
and ran up to join the girls
"get some big ones"
called out the grampa
and this encouraged the girls
to hunt for larger and even larger stones
and thenhurl them
crashing into the water
with accompanying kaploop
and collum of crazy water
Soon the girls were working up a sweat
to outdo each other
finding and hurling
larger and ever larger rocks into the lake
and had almost overcome
a morbid fear of bugs and spiders
that may be hiding on the undersides
a brave well placed kick to the stone
and a brave cry of
" DIE BUGS !! "
was enough to sterilize the rocks
and make them fit for hurling
to amuse Jinky
It was wonderful to watch
two little girls
dressed in nice dresses
by their gramma
slowly self morph into
Celtic War goddessess
of newly awakened muscular strength
hurling stones
the size of their own heads
into the lake
with all proper drama and fury
to amuse their spirit beast companion
one afore mentioned small red cat
who was watching
it all transpire from between their feet
great splashes rose from the water
with every lithic missle
as the enraged monster girls
in flowing pink
tossed gigantic boulders
over mythic cliffs
to destroy the Darkside Navy
preparing to invade Fairyland
" Amazing...they managed to stay
somewhat clean and dry"
gasped Gramma
" And they will sleep well tonight-
they worked very hard
to entertain your cat"
laughed Grampa
and with that
the little Goddess people
with eyes closed
in mock exhaustion
wiped their fair brows
and followed their Grandparents
up the iron steps
waving goodbye to Jinky
calling out " hope to see him again "
Jinky
watched them
disappear onto the dusk
and then looked at me
as if to say..
" well,
can you
top
that? "
