Just Say No Jinky
******************
was being visited the other evening
by pal Sarah and her new crush target
There is nothing to do in this town
at night except drink
walk on the beach
or drop in on someone
walking on the beach
in November is way yoo cold
and the crush fellah
is not much of a drinker
( good for her )
so I get the honour of host
to a drop in paiur of visitors]
Glad to have them here
all is cool and eventful
Jinky is delighted to see his best fan
and does several tricks
to steal Sarahs attention away
from her baffled date who is
warmly received by the small red cat
i was going to light a fire
and read and draw
but arrival of guests change all that
maybe we could go out and sit
in the coffee shoppe
where they make the beverages
and wash the cups..
maybe a pizza but that means
delays and calling ahead
and $25 bucks for not much
nobody can decide on
what wonderful we should take up
everyone is being so co operative
nothing gets resolved
I 'm not lighting a fire
if I have to go out and leave it
maybe make tea
so in the meantime
hand out Anjou pears
and Mitsu apples
fruit is always well received'
it always tastes great
God's best work is a fruit tree
date crush fellah
suggests we smoke a joint
I say I don't imbibe
but go right ahead
fire it up
they sure seem to want to
ignite something in a hurry
suddenly the fruit is abandoned
half eaten as the bag of dope comes out
a joint gets rolled and lit
and commented on
as the visitors pass
it back and forth like a cellphone
Jinky is puzzled
at this curious activity
the strange smell
and the shift of attention from him
to this foreign herbage
while they visitors were
really getting huffed up
I see Jinky walk onto
the short table from behind
and we all watch him sniff
the little bag of pot
and are collectively amazed
to see him pick it up in his mouth
and runs out of the room with it
Crush dude is shocked and frozen
but Sarah gives chase
and goes after Jinky
down the darkened hall
Crush dude snaps out of it
gives chase himself
and joins Sarah on safari
then tenderly creeps up to Jinky
hiding in a dark corner
guarding his treasure
and retrieves his little bag of pot
back in the studio I hear all about
how my cat stole their pot
and ran off with it in his mouth
and how they had to get it back
and how funny it all is
I was there
I saw it all as well
but never deny anyone
an adventure story
A minute later
Jinky struts in
and swims between
everybodys feet in turn
reminding us
our sole reason to live
is to lavish attention on him
when he so desires it
he knows about money
now he knows about pot
next time
it might be
........car keys
